A field in medicine...or not?

Question

i love biology but im not that great with chemistry and physics but I really want to be a doctor. [its definitely a profession im serious about] But at the same time I must stick with reality, do u think I should go on with my dream or choose something more realistic.

Answer 1

Why is medicine not realistic?

You don't need an advanced degree in either chemistry or physics to apply to medical school--just the pre-reqs, and all of them are very manageable as long as you're willing to put in a bit of time to study.

You won't take either chem or physics once you're in med school, and although some of the concepts are important, you don't have to be a whiz at either of them.

As long as you're willing to work--and if you're not willing to work, there's no point in applying to med school--just the fact that you don't love and adore chem and physics shouldn't hold you back.  

Good luck!
