i'm not sure if i should have asked this in the allo thread... but oh well.
so my question is my thread topic. to elaborate, I am wondering what kind of student does well in med-school? for example, i've read in the allo threads that a lot of med-students found u-grad to be relatively easy... of course it's easy when put into perspective with med school, but before all that, were you sitting in o-chem thinking, "this is a breeze!" ? i ask because I am not one of those naturally gifted students who can absorb information like a sponge. i've done well thus far, but I put in a lot of effort... i study 5 days a week, ~ 3-4 hrs on weekdays, and most of my entire sunday. and when i say 4 hrs, i mean 4 hrs of efficient studying. if i have to put in this much effort in u-grad, will i die in med-school? my concerns continue to progress every year, as i see my fellow peers who do just as well as I, if not better, with minimal effort. are students lying when they claim they never study? what about those who study substantially- no way in hell are they going to make it in med school? what do you think?
