Question

Answer 1

I'm currently in my second year of medical school. it is the hardest thing i have ever done. its not so much that the material is difficult to comprehend. its just that there is so much info that u will have to learn and such a short time to learn it. and u can't forget it either. (unlike HS or college, when the semester was over u could forget the stuff)

But a lot of ppl go through medical school, and most ppl make it out okay. there a lot of rewards being a doctor. but it is a lifetime commitment (med school, residency, fellowship, then re-licensing exams every 10 yrs).

if u have the determination and passion, in addition to being a hard worker, u can do it.

and don't worry about going to a state school. that stuff doesn't really matter in the long run. its ur GPA and exam scores that carry the most weight.

Answer 2

its not hard.... its HELLISH!

I left after 2 years and now majoring in business.
