Question Thread for Danielle

Once she is in medical school it won't have an effect, but getting in might be more of a problem depending on how conservative the folk reviewing her applications are. One of the things that they do (at least here in Canada) is screen you with selection processes to see if you are "suitable" to be a MD. Generally people who want to do medicine do a lot of volunteer work prior to applying to demonstrate that they are people people and care about society. It isnt just grades, I know people who did very well in their undergrad course work but who couldnt get into medical school because of their personality.

It is probably still early for her to worry about that though.
