I really want to become a dermatologist. My Dad is a hand surgeon and tells me that is a great medical specialty. I also think its a pretty interesting field and have always hoped to become a doctor one day.
How hard is it to become a dermatologist though? After medical school, I hear you have to be at the TOP of your class to get into the residency??
I%26#039;m...above average when compared to all students, but in medical school, I think I%26#039;ll BE average.
I have a 4.3 GPA (all A%26#039;s, one B), take all my senior high school courses at a college, and have all the extracurriculars down...but my sat scores SUCK (ahem, I mean..they%26#039;re not that great): CR 710, Math 660, Writing 680.....
so based on how i am now, do you think i have a shot at becoming a dermatologist?|||Dermatology is a very competitive residency.

If you want to get into Derm, your best shot is going to a top 20 med school, so I recommend you work very hard in college from day 1. Get into research ASAP, do volunteering, etc.|||It really depends on how w
