Wael’s Answer

It is relative. It is like asking me how hard it is to run a mile. If I am fit I would say it isn't; however, if I am not I would say it is impossible. On the other hand, I can tell you comfortably that it is going to take you a long time to become one.

Richard’s Answer

Getting into medical school is the first hurdle. You will need to get good grades in college in order to apply for medical school. At the medical school I attended, the average GPA is reported to be 3.85, so even one or two B's can hurt your chances of acceptance

During medical school your performance has to be amazing. Only the top 10% of students get a dermatology residency.

Estelle’s Answer

It's one of the most competitive residencies. Being in the top 10-15% of your medical school class would improve your chances. I also recommend research and shadowing dermatologists.
