Could i get to be a an anesthesiologist with these grades..?

Question

Ok, so I was wondering if i would be able to become an anesthesiologist. As of right now I am a freshmen in high school, I know Im kind of young to be thinking about all of this but anyways I was just wondering if I could possibly become one. I have decent grades; 4 A's, and 2 B's. I have a very good work ethic and I am a very determined person once i set my mind to something. So if you could please help me with my question..
Thank you for your input

Answer 1

Your high school grades are not relevant.

To become an anesthesiologist, you will need the following education:
--bachelor's degree
--MD or DO degree (medical school)
--Specialized study for anesthesiology.

You'll need to do internships and residencies for both the original MD or DO and also the specialization. And you'll need to pass state boards and professional boards at both levels.

Your crucial point in this process is getting into medical school in the first place.

To maximize chances of med. school admission:

1. Your bachelor's degree should be either (a) pre-med (b) anything. Med. schools say that they want broad scholars, not narrowly focused geeks. So if you do pre-med, use your electives to take a wide range of arts, social sciences, communication, humanities, even phys. ed. If you do any other major, use electives to cover all the math/science courses that a pre-med major must take.

2. GPA and score on the MCAT (like the SAT/ACT but specifically for med. school).

3. Experience. In college (and in high school if possible) work (volunteer or pay) at a health care facility.

4. References. At the health care facility, try to connect with the doctors. Tell them you want to be an anesthesiologist. Some of them will like you and want to help you.

5. Interview. Med schools interview incoming candidates. If you can, ask doctors about the interview, find out what questions they're likely to ask and how to answer them.

It won't matter much to the med. school how you've finished your bachelor's degree- so starting at a community college, or jumping among several universities, is not necessarily a barrier.

Answer 2

Well, it all depends on a few things.
If you are in a Private school there are less people, that means a better chance for getting a scholarship. If you are in a school with thousands, then you pretty much have to get all 100's.

Or you could just pay for college and be in debt your whole life. Your choice.

Answer 3

this is the way it works, you keep making good grades in high school get into college then continue to make good grades need to have at least a 3.5 gpa score well on the mcat and then while in college if you don't take summer classes get a job at a hospital and you will have a great shot at med school

Answer 4

OK. i picked a med school at random,
the average grade of someone enetring in 2004 was 3.38.
Keep that GPA up and someday we can call you "doctor.'
Your determinatin is what will get you through. Good luck.

Answer 5

Talk to schools about their CRNA programs. That would be faster probably. Become an RN first. Get plenty of work and experience in the operating room while working toward more education.

Answer 6

make sure u get straight a's sophemore year to junior year. That will be your academic g.p.a and it is really important that you get above a 3.5 in that. also take the practice sat this spring, then the real deal next year, that way by your senior year you will most likely have a top notch sat score. its all about gpa and sat
good luck my friend

Answer 7

SURE AND BY THE WAY MEDICINE IS A GREAT PROFESSION. OTHER THAN THAT ALL I CAN SAY IS IF YOU BECOME ONE DONT FORGET TO WAKE THEM UP AFTER YOUVE PUT THEM TO SLEEP.
