I'm thinking about a BA/MD combined program but I'm not sure I'm good enough to study hard and stuff like that, I have graduated high school in Egypt and I had a grade point average of 70%.
some people say don't worry you won't have to study very hard if you go to the college every day.
so what do you say?

It depend on how much you are interested in medicine but remember definitely for medicine you need to study hard after going to the college even more than other branch of learning because in medicine you are responsibil for people life and health so if you do just a small mistake maybe it cant compensate for the loss of ones health or life
Good luck

in england you need a grade point average of at least 80 (i.e all a's). You will have to study incredibly hard to do medicine and don't forget you will be dealing with real people and their lives. Only do it if you love the subject or you will hate it when doing it. If you're not a hard worker or you feel like being a lazy person sometimes, medicine is not really an option.
Hope I could help. I was predicted all A's and applied for medicine and got rejected :( Even though I showed great enthusiasm...

If you think you can get a medical degree without studying hard, I hope you will never be my doctor. If you got a 70% average by NOT studying, you may have the brains for it, but that's not half of what you need. You need to be able to buckle down and apply yourself, and you need the determination to do that. I'm not saying that because I was a good student, but hey I'm not a doctor! People's lives don't depend on my knowledge.

You will have to study VERY hard. Premed is not easy and if you do a combined degree you're taking out a year, so you're condensing more classes into a shorter time. Keep in mind that doesn't give much time for elective classes, if you wanted any. If you don't think you can study hard, medicine isn't for you. you will need to study hard for years to come.

Yes you will have to study hard, at least to get any type of medical degree! Most schools want people that are A students. If you don't have the skills now to study I suggest you get them before you waste your money in college. What school did tyou want to go to, because if you are planning on going in the united states, study very hard!!!

College was NOT easy!!! It is worth it in the end though.
It was a whole lot of fun too but you have got to separate you party time from you study time.
College is not cheap and you are there for a reason. TO LEARN!!!
For that reason classes and studying comes first and if there is time left over, you may then party and have fun. You have weekends to do that too...
Anyway, yes if you put your mind to it, you can and will succeed.

You are capable if you think you are capable. Those combined programs can be kind of tough, and the selection process is very competitive. If you can get in, and you are OK with spending Saturday nights studying instead of partying, then go for it. Good luck, you future doctor!!! Don't forget to be nice to us paramedics!

Only about 1% of med students ever make it to their Md. Don't give up, you could be that 1 in 100.

If you have to ask, then no. Having confidence in yourself is critical in medicine. That is why all "good" doctors are cocky.
