Do I have what it takes to get into medical school?
There’s more demand for medical school than there are seats in a classroom. A lot of people want to be doctors, and institutions can only accept so many students. In fact, only 41 percent of medical school applicants matriculated in the 2019–2020 school year, according to the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC). If you’re serious about medical school, you should have the following:
Strong grades, especially in science courses. The average GPA for students accepted into medical school is 3.7.
An above-average MCAT score. The average MCAT score for test-takers is 506, but the average MCAT score of accepted medical students is 511.
Solid references from professors and individuals in your life.
Some quality volunteer experience.
A stand-out personal statement and essays.

How long does it take to start my career as a doctor?
It can be hard to conceptualize just how long the process of becoming a doctor is when you’re 15, 18, or even 24. Becoming a doctor is a long process, with some specialties requiring training up to 11 years, not including your undergraduate degree. After spending four years on your undergraduate degree, you’ll spend four more years in medical school. Then you’ll have three to seven years of residency, and possibly a few more if you plan on specializing with a fellowship.
