Depends. Mcat is like 5-6 hours a day 45 min study 15 min break for one summer

For classes about 40-50 hours a week

5-6 hours only for permed / the first 2 years. After that much less right?

Ehhh if you're in the US you need to d alot of extra curricular which tend to build up in junior year and senior so I'd say about 60 hours a week total including studying and all ECs.

But average iq (like a 100) is gonna make premed tough. What was your SAT.

Edit: you say you're from the Netherlands. Did you get into med school right out of HS or are you going to apply after the end of college. Also how did you do on the pre college entrance exams (percentile wise)

OP you’ll never make it through med school. Just drop this idea already.

Yes i plan to get into it this year or alternatively next year with a premed preparatory year between cause i didn't have biology and physics. My math and chemistry grades and GPA is good overall, above average especially the last most objective exam.

Netherlands or Belgium too have a Entrance Examination (Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, reading comprehension). The difficulty is slightly above the Advanced / Higher Level of each subject. Since i still need to learn all of physics and biology it's uncertain that I'll make it this year already.


I wish i had selected all Natural sciences and all at Higher Level but yeah...
