Question: What is Medical School Really Like?
Answer: As a medical student, you will be required to attend lectures, labs, and activities daily, while your nights will be spent studying. Expect long hours. Do not miss class or fall behind! Cramming is impossible in medical school since the amount of information to memorize is endless. However, if you do fall behind, many schools are generous enough to offer students transcribed lectures.
Medical school is not easy. Therefore, hard working students, who are capable of dedicating their lives to medical school and are able to keep up with studying, are more successful. Competitive students are more likely to survive medical school. However, a fear of not being able to save a patient is what strives medical students to stay focused. Over 95% of the students accepted into medical school earn their M.D. degree.
