[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder why no one ever posts "should I go to med school" threads?

you do know there are avenues for non-trad people to become docs....and becoming a doc is no where near 'elite school' dependent.

you can do your post-bac pre-med requirements in a structured program like gtown's or an unstructured one like UMD....then take MCAT, go to even a 'low' ranked allopathic or D.O school...and do well there to get into a great residency.[/quote]

Agree.  As an MD it is amazing how many folks from foreign medical schools or D.Os do well/get paid a whole bunch of money in their careers.  I certainly didn't go to a "top tier" med school but that has never really been an issue post residency.  A lot of people I grew up with went to the Caribbeans for school and are quite successful.[/quote]

I noticed this, too, and I am kicking myself in the butt for not going to med school. I am an immigrant and could have finished med school in my country basically for free. Instead, I got an engineering degree - a more difficult school to get into and gradute from and I hated it and changed careers later because I wanted to deal with people yet even then I didnt realize I would be doing that as a doctor. Now it's too late.[/quote]
