What is it similar to studying to become a doctor?
I would love to become a doctor, but I think I need to know a little more something like the course first. Such as what types of grades are expected and how much money it costs to become one. I'm nearly finished my GCSEs and am predicted all As and have already achieved an A* contained by a Science GCSE, but it's the money that I am most concerned about.
Answers:
Grades should be around 8 As or above, a B or C wouldn't really hurt you though, but obviously the higher the better.
A-levels, do Biology and Chemistry for the full 2 years, some university require biology for A level, and chemistry just at AS, but others prefer it vice versa, and some prefer them both, so do both just to hang on to your options open. The 3rd A-level should be something that you enjoy, but is preferably irrefutable, e.g. maths, physics, psychology etc. I would say that the 4th AS should be something you enjoy, whether this is scientific or not. Grades obligation to be high, the bare minimum is AABb, but your more likely to find AAAb as the minimum presently that A*s are introduced (I started in 2007 when it was still AABb).
The money depends on you. Tuition fees are currently the maximum, but that is one and the same as any other course, at around lb3000 per year. I think that the NHS pays has a bursery for 5th year fees, so you are looking at a minimum of 12000. This is straight out of a loan, which is repaid from your wages when you qualify and earn >15000 (which you will as soon as you leave medical college, probably around lb25000). Your living costs depend on where you live (london is more expensive) but expect around lb3000 on rent outside of london (around lb4000 in london) term time just, with day to day living costs lying on that.
Money really shouldn't be an issue for choosing to go to medical school or not, there are plenty of loans and burserys out nearby, the course is really interesting, different, and with very good undertaking prospects at the end.
Try to get some work experience in a hospital or near your GP, but anywhere is health care will do (nursing home, administrative etc.), as this is a vital requirement for applying, and also will give support to you understand the job a bit better.

Discuss it with your Guidance mentor, librarian or careers adviser. Medical schools are exceptionally picky about what courses they want their students to have taken at school. For medication it is not just a matter of getting excellent academic results (although specifically essential) but also of showing a knowledge of medicine, having undertake some work experience, showing a caring attitude, being a well-rounded person etc etc.
There are lots of on-line sources - Google medical school and see what you can get.
