I'm debating whether or not to start the process to try to go into medicine. I never really considered it before, I always just assumed I wasn't smart enough, but it's kind of a bug that keeps coming back to me...
My undergrad is in Mechanical Engineering but my GPA is very poor (2.9), I went to West Point and just assumed I'd spend 20 years in the military (ha!). Anyway, I enjoy engineering, I love math but do NOT enjoy desk jobs...I don't enjoy science much because it's just memorizing a bunch of crap. I think I'd hate med school but enjoy being a doctor? I'm working on my Professional Engineer license now because I have some time, and I won't be out of the Army for another two years, but I think I need to start making headway on med school now if it's ever going to happen...
Anyway, just looking for some thoughts, maybe some tips on boosting my chances?
Thank you!
