Am I out of Luck?

<p>Ok, i kind of dug myself a grave in my hopes of becoming a doctor since i was only accepted to Santa Clara University and University of San Diego. Does anyone know which college offers me a better chance at still reaching my dream/goal? Motivation and discipline won't be a problem... Any opinion about each school would be great...
Thanks in advance,
Joey</p>

<p>Just keep a high gpa, score well on the mcat, and gain clinical experience and research (if time permits). Pick the score you like the most.</p>

<p>Solid advice. Self-motivation will be the key. I went to a college that I'm sure you have never heard of, got accepted by several medical schools, and finished my post-graduate medical education at an Ivy. From there I've had an 18 year academic career. Your greatest asset is you - over the years I've interviewed a lot of duds from the national elites. Some are great, but certainly not all.</p>

<p>edit from above......."pick the SCHOOL you like the most"</p>

<p>Gasdoc are you the same one who post in the anesthesiology forum over at SDN?</p>

<p>No. That wasn't me. I'm a GI doc.</p>
