(32) It is not easy to become a doctor in the United States. The first step is getting into a medical college. More than 120 American schools offer study programs for people wanting to be doctors.
    People can get advice about medical schools from many resources. (33) One of these is a publication, the Princeton Review. It provides information about colleges, study programs and jobs.
    The Princeton Review says competition to enter medical schools is strong. American medical schools have only about 16,000 openings for students. However,more than two times this many seek entry.
    (34) An important part of the application usually is the Medical College Admission Test, or MCAT. The Association of American Medical Colleges provides the test by computer. It is offered in the United States and in other countries.
    The applicant is rated on reasoning, physical and biological sciences and an example of writing. Applicants for medical school need to do well on the MCAT. They also need a good record in their college studies.
    (35) An interview,or direct meeting,also is usually required for entrance to medical schools. This means talking with a school representative. The interviewer wants to know if the person understands the demands of life as a medical student and doctor in training. The interviewer wants to know about the person’s goals for a life in medicine.
    A medical education can cost a lot. One year at a private medical college can cost 40,000 dollars—or more. The average cost at a public medical school is more than 15,000 dollars. Most students need loans to pay for medical school. Many finish their education heavily in debt.
