Im hoping to become a doctor (Orthopedic surgeon) but Im just a Senior in HS right now. Any advice for what I should make sure to do/not to do in undergrad? Is there really a difference between what college I attend for Undergrad?

Med school actually look favorably on this. So I've been told. I took time off to get a Masters/work fulltime and do research.

Wow march and april is really early. Make sure you are ready. I would also recommend taking the NBME practice exams they are good indicators ofwhere you are i scored 15 points higher on my real STEP1 than on my highest NBME practice exam, and pretty much every classmate i talked to scored right aroundor higher than what the practice predicted.Originally Posted by tmoney85
