Am i smart enough to become a doctor?!


Question: im a sophomore in high school and i really want to become a doctor. im thinking i want to do emergency room maybe. anyways, i want to know if im smart enough.

im a year ahead in math and science, i always get all a's, and currently my gpa is a 4.16 [i have an advanced english class which is weighted], i took a PLAN test which is like a pre-ACT test and it said my score should be between a 26-31 on the real ACT.

i guess this stuff kind of sounds good, but i feel like doctors should be way smarter than me, like there's no way i could ever be as smart as a doctor. idk, what do you think?

Yes, you're smart enough to be a doctor. Now during the summer, do some volunteer work in a hospital or medical clinic so you can add extracurricular activities to your record.

Good luck

i think you sound plenty smart enough, and hardworking to! you just need to have some confidence and a strong stomach! haha

you are young enough to do what ever you want so just work hard and achieve your goals.

high school does not matter greatly, just helps you get into a better college
your goals should be read as much information on biology assuming that you will be a pre-med bio major
than just try and ace the MCAT test
if your college gpa is 3.5 or up with an okay MCAT you will most likely get into med school
the hardest part is getting in then you will be fine
