How to Get Into Medical School

Congratulations. You have decided to pursue one of the most noble professions. Besides the social prestige and financial compensation, medicine is one of the most self-fulfilling and rewarding careers one can have. One of the beauties of medical school is that the path is generally laid out for you. But that does not make it any easier. Acceptance to medical school is very competitive and many applicants do not matriculate on their first attempt.
