Getting Your GED with the Goal of Medical School
by: John

You sound very ambitious! Good!

As you probably know, to get a GED will need to pass a series of standardized tests that are the types of questions and problems that graduating high school seniors should be able to answer or solve. Eligibility requirements hat vary slightly by state, so contact your local GED center to find out the details in Florida.

Your question really focuses on what's beyond the GED -- specifically how to get into medical school. Assuming you prepare well for the GED and pass, if you want to get into medical school, you'll first need to complete a four-year college education (bachelor's degree).

Perhaps the quickest way to do this is to start at a two-year community college to get your general education out of the way and make an easier transition to a university. Whatever route you take, be sure to work closely with a faculty advisor as soon as you are admitted so that they can help you choose the best classes to take along the way. Working with an advisor in this way will help choose the classes that will translate well to medical school.

Once you complete two years at a community college, you can continue your education at a four-year university. Continue to work closely with a faculty advisor to keep your classes on track. Upon completion, you would apply to medical school.

Good luck!
