I am taking two anatomy classes currently: Applied Anatomy for my Exercise Science classes and Anatomy and Physiology for myself and preparing for DO school. I just found out I cannot get higher than a B in Applied Anatomy, which is a middle of the road course in toughness. However, I am doing pretty well in Anat & Phys..I got an 83% on my lab midterm (don't know what I got on my lecture midterm yet..my guess is an A or B..no less). A&P is a harder course than my Applied course. I just keep thinking that if I am not getting 95% and up on all the tests and exams that I am not smart enough to hack it in med school. Has anyone else ever felt this way? I know I can handle med school, but I think I need to develop new study habits (like actually studying a week or two before an exam instead of the night before).

Does anyone have any thoughts or advice? I do well in my other classes, all A's and maybe a few B's. Maybe I am just not applying myself in the right ways.

thanks for everything,

Your study habits will absolutely have to change in order to survive med school. It doesn't have much to do w/ being smart....your work ethic will make or break you. Try studying for more then just the night before the exam and keep up w/ the material as it comes to you lecture by lecture.....studying for weeks before an exam will become your way of life in med school....
 
you will be fine if you apply to a med school with P/F.

also, in med school, you life develops around the library and med students that you will be studying together, exercising together, pooping together and doing other stuff together.
