Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>I think I speak for a lot of ppl at CC. Many of us want to become a doctor. However, let's face it, not all of us will make it to med school. Do any experts (i.e. current students, graduated students) know:</p>

<p>[1] how do med schools accept applicants?
[2] which years in university do they consider? freshman year isn't included in the GPA right?
[3] what do science ppl do if they don't get into med school?</p>

<p>thanks a million. If other ppl have questions, do ask!! :)</p>

<li>They look at your GPA, MCAT, rec letters, and strong EC's.</li>
<li>They consider your EVERY class you took in your undergrad years. If you dropped, repeated or got a W, they consider that too.</li>
<li>Most people who get rejected either go abroad for med schools (this is much easier to get in to) or become teachers or researchers.</li>
