<p>If you want to be a doctor, there’s always a way. While you may not get in right out of college, there are other options. The first thing to do would be to ask and see why you got rejected. If you applied too late, you should apply earlier next year. If your MCAT is too low, you should retake it. If your GPA is too low, then you should take some postbac classes to boost it. If you don’t have the right EC involvements, then you should reconsider if you really want to be a doctor and why; and if you realize that you do, you should do as much as possible to prove that to them over the year. </p>
<p>Then, there’s always the option of 2 year medschools in the carribeans and such that later automatically transfer you to an accredited medschool in the states afterwards. </p>
<p>The biggest problem is people who aren’t willing to wait to get into medical school…who decide when they get rejected the first year they apply that it’s not for them. In my opinion, THIS is “weeding out” the premedders. If you want to be a doctor, you must be willing to sacrifice extra years of your time ontop of the already anticipated years of medial school and you residency.</p>
