Is it possible to do well in math and science even if you don’t have a natural aptitude towards the subjects? Of course.

Will it take a lot of work? Yes. Definitely.

Will you be able to outshine people who love the math and science, are naturally talented at the subjects, and work hard? Probably not.

It all just depends on how much work you are willing to put in and how much you are willing to sacrifice to get there. If you were terrible at science in high school, you will probably have to work three times as hard to do well in the material in college. You should consider though, if you have to struggle through the material in college, you will likely struggle even more in medical school, and consider if this is worth it.

Then again, some people are late bloomers and everything seems to just click in college. You may be one of those, but be prepared to work hard if you want to go to medical school after undergrad.
