Question
Dear Mr. Levy,
I am getting ready to graduate high school at the end of this month. I am going to Carson Newman Colllege, a 4-year Liberal Arts College in Tennessee. I am not a rocket scientist. Is this a career that anyone who is willing to work for can acheive, or is the education getting to the point in which you are at very hard. Thanks Justin

Answer
It is very tough to be a physician and it is very competitive but anyone has the potential to succeed.  Obviously you will need good grades (especially coming from a relatively unknown school, but it is still possible to make it. Just keep working hard.
