What is going on? have people lost their minds?

<p>Wong, it is sad to hear your struggle in Cornell. Good or bad …, Being a premed, you need to think further. In Medical field, if you are interested in certain specialties, you need to prepare for it as early as possible. Here is a list of courses i would recommend you to take. (Talk to your school adviser or go to studentdoctor.net website to find out some more info). A lot of premed just failed, so it is not that easy to get into med school.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Radiology (Diagnosis, Oncology, Intervention) - Take more advanced physics, programming, and image processing class.</p></li>
<li><p>ophthalmology, neurology, Surgery, Anesthesiology - you need to take some neurology courses</p></li>
<li><p>Dermatology - may be a lot of biochem classes</p></li>
</ol>

<p>In the med school, you need to take USMLE tests, you need a lot of academic background in order to get high score, so you can match to a program you love. Anyway, be yourself, don’t let anyone stop you, or tell you what you must do or you can’t do. </p>

<p>At Cornell, there must have a lot of challenging classes/courses you can explorer. Get your GPA as high as possible. Participate some extra curriculum. In the summer, get some research positions. Try to get a position in a science magazine at your school, or publish some papers. There are tons of things you can do and prepare. Don’t underestimate there are plenty of gunners out there. BTW, you still have MCAT to take.</p>

<p>Hope it helps…</p>
