Some of the greatest minds and business people sucked at high school. But if you want to be a doctor, Uni's usually require a high Year 12 pass to be let in, but there are other ways. You still have to be smart though and be able to prove you can handle years of medical school.

@SW-User thank you do you know other ways of getting into doctorate??

@Snowballs I think if you don’t have the year 12 marks to get in, then you can still get in as a mature age student but I think each university has a different selection criteria that’s required. But it’s worth finding out.

Absolutely. High school isnt even the beginning.

I know someone who wanted to become a manager at a health service. They told her she was too stupid and fat for the job. Fast forward 8 years. She's lost 40 kilos and now a top surgeon.

@Snowballs Not in my country. O_o Year 12 means literally nothing in the U.S. What matters is college.

@Tatsumi really it's opposite here in AU

So how does it work in the US, you need to get a good sat score or GAMSAT score to become a doctor??
