Can someone please guide me on becoming a doctor?

Question

Hey, I start college soon, snd go to enrol in a couple of days.

I would like some help on which subjects I should take, I am definetely going to choose Biology and Chemistry, but need 2 more and am unsure as to what I should study.

I have been researching, and found that people suggest physics or maths as a good option, and so I am inclined to choose Maths aswell.

For the final one, I am considering picking Business Studies, as it is something I am interested in and believe I could get a good grade in, would this be a good option to take?

The only other problem I have, and the main reason Im asking this question :p is whether or not my GCSE results are good enough.

I have dairly good results, A in Science and additinal Science, which I believe are the most important ones, then B's in most other subjects which include Maths, Geography, RE and PE

The only results Im worried about is English, in which I got C in both language and literature, the reasons behind this is that I didn't put too much effort into coursework, and was quite lazy while completing it

I am led to believe that med schools would like higher than C's in English, and would like to know whether it would be possible to become a doctor with my English results.

Thanks in advance, Paul

Answer 1

You should talk to your advisor.  They are their for that reason

Answer 2

Good news for you. High school grades don't mean a thing when applying to medical school. They only look at your undergraduate work and extracurriculars. You could have been a 4.0 student or just barely got into college, they won't know either way. You better buckle down and work hard though, it only gets tougher. the average accepted is 3.6-3.7, so you need to do better than you did in high school.
