<p>An 1850 SAT score means nothing for med school admissions. You need excellent grades in college and a high score on the MEDCAT. If you feel that you can do well in math and science courses in college then go for your dream.</p>
<p>Stop whining about your science teacher from last year. If his opinion was valid, then accept it and learn from it. If it was not valid then put it behind you. </p>
<p>What are your high school math and science grades? Was you SAT a shock or is it representative of your aptitudes in math and critical reading? Are you willing to study a heck of a lot in college to learn the things that you need to learn? THAT is the best basis for evaluating your chances of success in college and getting into grad programs.</p>
<p>And do not look at the PA route as being an EASIER route. It is a faster route, and a less expensive route to a medical career but it is just as challenging academically. In addition, PA’s must take licensing exams every two years which cover EVERY aspect of medicine while MD’s only need to stay current in their specialty. That can be a huge problem for some PA’s.</p>
