Med Students Lobby Congress for Tuition Breaks
question for current Medical students or GRADUATED and working students?
I have a few question
1. What grades are acceptable to get into pre-med in college?
2. What grades are the lowest for getting into a Medical School (MCATs aside)
3. How does interning and residency work and how does the pay work?
4. How much is Malpractice insurance and when do you have to aqquire it?
There is probably more ill ask but thats all for now. I’m going into a community college for 2 years because i moved and decided to skip senior year and go to college instead of dealing with a new school and plan on going on into orthopedics. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks.
First I would concentrate on getting through the first 4 years of college. You need a bachelor degree in science (ex biology) with a very high GPA. Med school is very competitive and people with 4.0 aren’t guaranteed a spot. It’s a combination of factors like your grades, MCAT’s, the written essays and the interview. The also factor in your experience such as volunteer work. After you’re accepted into med school it’s another 4 years with internships during your 3 and 4th year. After you graduate you are a resident for 4 years, paid. If you want to specialize it’s another 2-6 years of residency depending on the specialty. You’ll learn about malpractice insurance and about having a practice while in med school.
Anybody can take the pre-med classes in college, they are just science classes and other general classes. They aren’t easy science classes but as long as you pass the first class you can take the second class and then the third and so on. You can start premed in community college talk to an adviser as to what is required for the 4 year college you plan to transfer to. Good luck you have a lot of hard work ahead of you. Don’t get frustrated you can apply to many med schools not just the one in your state.
