First year medical school
Dear All, This is a video about some of the first year medical school classes we are taking. Hope you enjoy it! Jeff for more random stuff, my blog is: www.bostonmedicalstudent.wordpress.com PS I wanted to point out something important: that the opinions expressed in this post are not necessarily those of Harvard Medical School, its affiliated institutions, or Harvard University. Also, I’m just a medical student, so my posts are hopefully conversation starters, but only conversation starters …
It is just sad that grade has still so much importance to get into medical school . We find ourselves with these great genius with no bedside manner or empathy.
@LifeIsScience1 So if you have a really bad grade in high school.. you are never going to be able to study medicine? WTF…and if you cant wat can u do?
if you want it you have what it takes, all you have to do is commit to it. Put effort into you, sometimes put everything/everyone aside because your studies must come first.
I’m a sophomore and I want to be a doctor. Deciding between becoming a Pediatrician or a General Practitioner. I’m going into all honors and AP next year, so I’m excited. 4.0 GPA without honors classes. I go to a military academy for high school. I’m also going to be volunteering at a hospital and I’m going to become a reading mentor at this elementary school. I have a job, too. I really hope I can get into a good school. I’m looking at UF or UCF. I’d kill to get into Harvard or any Ivy League.
Have you guys heard about the Semmelweis University in Budapest? What do you think about it?
Hey, do you live in a Vandy room?
no…………..
What do you think?
harvard med is it good?
Lol, im a junior in highschool right now. What are you?
Ahhh I want to be a doctor so much. I wish I wasn’t a Junior in High School right now, i have so much ahead of me!
dude are you in harvard med?
you must have to be superhuman to organize/complete all of those courses. I’ve been taking 2-3 classes a semester getting 100% in each; for ex. micro, a&p. Do I even stand a chance in med school? how do you find out if you have what it takes?
Compared to medical school and all of the prerequisites that are usually required for being accepted into a prestige institute, the GE courses I’m currently in also feel like a joke. I’m a sophmore, by the way, so I’m still taking general ed. classes. Boo-ringg!
For some reason I believe BikutaHo WILL be a Medical Doctor some day.
bachelor’s degree is the degree you get after you finish 4 years of university.
whats bachelor’s degree ?
OMG
iphone app coming soon check it out keyword (isurgery notebook)
BikutaHo, med schools consider your college/university GPA, not your high school GPA. You need a bachelor’s degree before you can attend medical school in USA.
i wanna be a doctor
my last year gpa was 3.6 ( in 9th grade)
now im going for 4.0, but idk if its enough to get in med school
IDK if I should become a lawyer or doctor. I am good at English, my favorite subject is history. I am not that good at it but I am interested in chemistry and a little less in biology. I have a 3.2 in high school and have only 1 D, rest are C’s and above, I am in athletics and currently fixing that D. I think my GPA will rise since I have honors courses and the extra points have not been added yet, since I transferred to a school that would raise my GPA with honors courses. Any suggestions?
Yeah college classes goes wayyyyyy deeper than HS classes!!! College makes HS look like a joke! lol
If you’re 4 years from graduating high school, you won’t be getting into medical school for another 8 years. I would just make sure that you’re doing well in any classes that you are taking so you can get into a premedical program in a college. If any specifics, take anatomy/physiology if your school offers it! I found that while other chem/bio classes may help, generally they won’t give you too much of an advantage because college intro classes will go much further. Good luck
How many credit hours did you take your first semester?
