Answers:
Well. Med School is immensely competitive. So you need to be on your toes at all times. They love people beside experience and studious which is what we know thus far. There are requirements to get into medical school. I'm assuming you live in USA. So the requirements are 1 year of nonspecific biology, 1 year of general chemistry, 1 year or organic chemistry, 1 year of calculus, 1 year of physics. Obviously they love diversity so you dont have to force yourself into person a Science Major, but its the most obvious because the more sciences you take the more prepared you are to handle the harder sciences surrounded by Medical School. Usually they require a overall GPA of a 3.5 and an overall science GPA of a 3.7. Then You must take the MCAT and score according to the field surrounded by which you want to be placed and according to the schools standards. Every medical profession requires a certain score on the MCAT, if you want to be a specialist surrounded by some field i suggest you contact the school that you want to go to (I read aloud contact atleast more than 10 schools.) and find out what is required and far as the MCAT score. Just a little info, you NEED, and i repeat NEED A's contained by all those classes they require. Is crucial. You can get by with approaching an A- in calculus or something but those sciences are your basis of medical school. so its terribly important that you know them in and out. They love seeing beefed up students going surrounded by there with strong ambitions and high hope's waiting to be fulfilled. They want diversity, not robots. Because robots dont enjoy feelings. If your a good person beside good grades and a great ambition, then your doctoring career of late began. Go do something weird and out of the ordinary, show them some skills you hold other than the ability to learn. Show them that you can play an instrument or paint or something thats different. Its call being human and having fun. Do some research other than the sciences, shift open a little business of yours, etc etc. Listen I know! My brother-in-law is a doctor and i helped him next to almost everything.
***** Well, I believe the UK is about the same thing. Because i own been looking at universities in the UK as okay. I believe they dont take MCAT's its a different admissions examination. (I'm not too sure) and instead of it human being called pre-med they call it pre-clinical. So, what you need to do is, find a serious councilor at your university and ask, usually they go by appointment. So, I suggest you do that than really take my word for it. But as far as the curricula is just around the same but they want you too take 1 semester of Psychology and 1 semester Biochemistry and 1 semester of physiology. They do this because the curricula in UK medical school dont cover certain topics, which i find very crucial to the future MD. So if thats going to be the crust, i suggest you take these classes before you graduate. BUt just double check me beforehand I give you false info. But if i'm not mistaken these are the main requirements. The GPA stands as is because this is what all medical school demand of you. ***** Source(s): Pre-med student. Anymore questions feel free to ask away, within someway your actually helping me
