[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Possible to be “pre-med”- yes, of course.

Chances of successfully being admitted to a US medical school straight from undergrad (no post bacc, research/retake MCAT year, etc) without completely giving up your social life in college- very unlikely.

Why is being a “college athlete” so important to you?  Could those same goals be achieved if you played your sport on a less competitive level (local games vs traveling out of state, for example)?   [/quote]

Very unlikely? I know four including my niece, her boyfriend, my nephew, and a friends daughter. Two of them were athletes. One D1, one D3.[/quote]

Huh?  Out of the grand total of four doctors that you know, two of them were college athletes.  I don’t think your example proves what you think it does.

Doctors? No, kids in med school right now who went directly from undergrad. It takes discipline but it’s very doable.[/quote]

Haha, not even worth arguing with someone who uses med school and “very doable” in the same sentence.   
By your logic, getting in as a non-athlete is a breeze.  [/quote]
