It's hard to be premed. Most people will have it easier than you. Most people will not have to study Saturday nights or spend hours doing homework. You will see your friends having more than you, and you may decide that a B- or C+ is good enough.
It's not. You are studying for a profession to which people will entrust their lives. You will only succeed if you become an expert, and you can only do that by starting now. Never lose site of your ultimate goal and study your asss off.

becoming a doctor takes a lot of commitment and support from family and friends, but doing something that you want to do is worth it! make sure you try hard in school, don't leave studying for the day before, the more you study throughout the days the more time you will have to know what you don't understand and you can still have time to understand it.start studying for the mcat trust me it will help tremendously. however don't lock yourself up in your room studying ALL the time make sure you make time for yourself as well because there will be a point where you wont have as much time. so take advantage. even though some people may not have faith in you if you know you can do it which i really think you can never give in. im sure there is someone out there wanting to help you get to your goal and take advantage of them being there. i wish you the best of luck!

Here's something else to consider. Be prepared to let your profession own you for 30 to 35 years, especially if you become a general practitioner. I have personally seen some of my family members' physicians at the hospital early in the morning, say around 8 o'clock, and returned that night about 9 p.m. to find they are still there or have returned for evening rounds. Very few people have the dedication or the stamina to go through the torture required to be a doctor. I considered it myself years ago when I was starting college because of my good grades in biology, but decided that I had too many interests to dedicate my life to just one. Later, through my genealogical research, I found that my family has no fewer than 8 or 9 medical doctors in its background, including 1 great-grandfather, 2 great-great-grandfathers, 4 great-great-uncles and 2 great-great-great-uncles, all dating back to the early 1800's and afterward.
