<p>Get a book on med school admissions. There is also an excellent online handbook at <a href=“Amherst College Guide for Premedical Students”>http://www3.amherst.edu/~sageorge/guide1.html</a> Armed with an understanding of what it takes to be a successful applicant you can make your decisions.</p>
<p>I also always ask kids that say they want to be doctors, why an M.D? Not that I know it is wrong for you, it may be the right fit, but have you actually looked into the medical field and considered the alternatives? From the day you start college it will be 11-15 years before you are a practicing doctor, depending on what field you go into. Doctors are not the only ones in the health field that help people. Physical therapists, radiology techs, nurses, speech pathologists, to name but just a few. Before you go heavily into debt and commit so many years I suggest you explore the alternatives. </p>
