Well I won’t go into too much depth on the subject, let us discuss the basic requirements for acceptance. Top notch marks, MCAT test scores, interviews, applications, essays, and forms are required to beat out the competition and to get a place in med school. You have to distinguish yourself as someone special and show that you can handle several years of hard study. If you are accepted you have to be able to pay for it all. Do yourself a favor and don’t enter this profession if your heart isn’t into it. If money, friends, or family are your reasons for applying, you are apt to end up living an unsuccessful and dismal life. Make sure you can stand bad smells, blood, traumatic scenes and constantly complaining people. If you have one weakness, it should be a poor sense of smell! You should be ready to work hard all your life and to spend long hours in hospitals and medical buildings. You should be caring, and should cast away any pride you may have. At medical school, the brightest students gather together to study a rigorous program, and you are nolonger the smartest in the class.,Medical School: The Websites
