Thank you comment icon It's harder to get into med school then getting into Harvard Shannon
Thank you comment icon Like all others, medical school requires dedication and time of commitment. If you really dream about being a doctor, go ahead without thinking about the difficulty because what matters in life is to accomplish what you like. There is no use in wanting to make another university with the illusion of being easier. You can be sure that it will be harder not to be doing what you really like. Cecília Iacoponi Hashimoto

Rachel’s Answer

It was hard.

I spent about 8-10 hours per day in class or studying. Wake up at 7, work out, be ready to start studying by 8 or 9. Eat lunch in the library while reading notes or listening to lectures online. I would study until dinner and then sometimes study that night if I hadn't finished preparing for the next day's classes.

Richard’s Answer

It was very difficult for me.

Time management is key. Between lecture, lab and studying, the first 2 years will be grueling. Make sure to leave time for yourself to exercise, eat right and even some socializing.

There will be times during 3rd and 4th year when you will be frustrated by your continued lack of skills and knowledge but just remember that there will be plenty of time to master your specialty during residency.
