<p>No one can decide for you whether med school is “worth it”. This is something you will have decide for yourself.</p>
<p>Medicine is as much a calling as it is a profession. Individuals who go into medicine for the wrong reasons (income, prestige, family pressure) inevitably end up miserable.</p>
<p>Medicine is not like law. All US medical schools are strong. The medical school curriculum is very standardized and all med students must take and pass the same national standardized exams (USMLE and NBME) to both pass med school and to qualify for a medical license. At the end of the day whether you graduate from the #1 ranked school or the #134 ranked school, you’re still a doctor. </p>
