What’s your GPA.

Will any of your professors in Biology or Chemistry write letters of recomendation for you.

Did you do voullenteer work at a clinic or hospital.

Medical schools look for a bright student who has what it takes.

Medical school will be 100 hours a week for 4 years.

You have to cut open cadavers until you know the body inside and out.

You have to take phramachology. More Bio-Chemistry and Micro-Biology. Continue with Anatomy and Phisiology and do rounds in the clinics and hosptials. SCUT work.

Starting out as orderly work, then LVN work, then tech work.

You’ll eventually have to draw blood, set IVs, set up the X-Ray machine and then have a licensed Tech come in and check your work before the picture is taken. They will correct your errors and try and teach you a little about why you move the machine this way or that way, why you throw the lever and change aspect and height.

You absorbe this becuase you have to become a Licensed Tech yourself.

Later you do rounds most of the time.

This is where there are six in a exam room with a guy whose pants are dropped down and everyone tries to feel where the inguinal heria is and what it feel like (cough, cough, cough) or takes a turn looking into a Uterus to see what cysts are.

You do 3-4 day on call rounds. Keep track of patients and liquid flow. Re-medicate after consulting with the Intern or REsident.

A Medical Schools wants to know you are ready for this life, because it is a life.

Any advanced study program is a full time venue.

So, after all this you have to decide if you have what it takes and then you have to make THEM see that you ready willing and able to do it.

A friend of mine just go into the NAvy and she wanted to be a diver. She took that test and was 5 points short in the written. So her advisors told her if she did above minimum on the physical test it would cover the 5 points.

She took the Navy Seal test and out did most of the men. The only thing she was short on was the 1 mile run by 15 seconds. She did more overhand pull ups than 75% of the men and you she couldn’t do a single one three months ago. But she worked at it.

She showed she had what it takes to make the grade.

If your courses are not Major level you have two options: either repeat the courses (it will take two semesters, at least) or apply to a Caribbean med school.
