What.. is this possible to become?

I want to be a Pediatrician when I am older but I don’t think I can because I am in foundation tier for exams and the highest I can get is a C grade but I don’t think I will get that although I will try my hardest. The absolute highest I can get is a B but that’s only if I get like all my answers right which isn’t likely to happen. Do you think it’s still possible to become one if I get a C in science, C in maths, A in English (they are my predicted levels for the three main subjects)??

Answer #1

Point one – your grades in high school might have some bearing on which colleges you’ll be able to get into, but they have no bearing whatsoever on what your eventual career will be. 20 years from now, mothers will not screen you off their list of potential pediatricians because you got a D in English when you were 15.

Point dos – If a C student can become President of the United States, a C student can do anything.

Answer #2

Yes, as long as you can get yourself into a college and start taking the pre-reqs. Do good in those classes, get put on the pre-med path and continue with the good grades. Get into a good medical college (with your good college grades) and do good there.

High School grades determine colleges you can get into to begin with. Once your in a College you can transfer to other Colleges and they pretty much look at what you are accomplishing in College not how you did in High School.
