Question on Becoming a Doctor

<p>Uh, there’s really nothing to it except to work hard, study hard and making sure you get help if you need to. Your intelligence will also factor into it. You have to find what works for you. Easier said than done.</p>

<p>That said, it’s very rare to find someone with a 4.0 (though not impossible) and it’s not very likely. Sooner or later, you’ll get an A- or a B. Regardless, there’s nothing wrong with aiming for a 4.0, in fact it would be foolish not to aim for perfection. Because although you probably won’t end up with a 4.0, you’ll still have an amazing GPA.</p>

<p>Of course, the question is whether he’s already dead in the water. If he managed poor grades at a CC, he might well be – he hasn’t given us enough information to know.</p>

<p>just telling u cc classes r in no way even comparable in difficulty w/ actual college courses…expect same effort for an a at a cc for near a c for ur actual undergrad…=(</p>

<p>for the ones of you that have helped with info i thank you and for the ones who said i have no chance at all of accomplishing then well i am going to prove all of you wrong.</p>

<p>No one said you have no chance of accomplishing your goals. Several posters said it would be very difficult. You haven’t gotten to some of the harder classes yet, such as o-chem. It’s very hard to get an A in that.</p>

<p>If you want top grades you have to increase all your academic efforts in every way possible: go see each professor during office hours, study more, outline your textbook, go to study group or find a study buddy, make flashcards, etc. You have to change how you are managing your classes and your life if you want to change your grades.</p>

<p>It’s a long and rocky road to med school, and you can’t just wish it to happen. You know…actions speak louder than words.</p>

<p>You might want to think about becoming a nurse anesthesiologist instead. Competitive, but not as competitive. You would still meet your stated goal of “helping people.”</p>

<p>1.) There is not a single person here who has told you that you’re done. In fact, we have specifically and repeatedly told you that we don’t have enough information to know if you are already “done”. </p>

<p>2.) The official term is nurse anesthetist, but the job descriptions in some ways are quite similar.</p>
