hello,
someone who posted the same thing before me inspired me to ask this question. first of all, let me say that i am not smart, I am actually dumber than the average person. Trust me.
now here we go with the question
When i was in high school, everyone would say "oh, AP classes are so hard, blah blah" and i believed them,, which scared me enough to prevent me from taking ap classes my first 2 years. but then junior year I took some AP classes and they were actually easier than regular classes. or the same. but not more difficult.
then came time to apply to univeristy, and everyone would say "[the name of the university that i go to] is so hard, you have to study alot, blah blah" and they scared the h*** out of me, but I dont see whats so difficult, i study like one hour per week and work a ful time job, its actually easier than high school.
Now here is my dilemma: i want to do medicine but i am too afraid because of all the bad things people say, "its so hard, you will lose your hair , find something easier, its not worth it..."
now i am not asking the usual question "how hard is it?" because thats kinda subjective...
I just want to know , how can i get a feel for how difficut med school will be before making the commitment?
thank you
