That kind of retention rate has got to be wayyy below normal for US medical schools. <strong>Dave--I don't really know what the normal retention rate at a US allopathic med school is, but I think it was a bit of a fluke for our class. I don't think my school normally has so many people stay back.

It's very interesting and informative! But i'm still not sure is right for me. I'm in my second year of college, contemplating becoming a Physician's Assistant. As of right now i'm majoring in Biology. What kind of areas of study would you recommend for doing that? Do you think Biology would be good enough for grad school? I'd rather here from another student rather than an adviser. Hey, I’m glad I found you’re blog. It’s very interesting and informative! But i’m still not sure is right for me.
