Hello,
I am a 14 year old boy and a rising 9th Grader. I would like some advice from a psychiatrist or affiliated medical experts on how to become a psychiatrist and what I can do to help me to be a very successful one. My GPA for 8th grade was 3.7. Is this to low to become a M.D.? I would appreciate it very much if someone answered this. -Thank You : )

Let me clarify a few things that everyone should know when they reach high school.
Grades in middle school, don’t matter in the slightest. The only thing that does affect you is whether you have taken Algebra level in math in middle school and whether you have taken a foreign language, as those classes will move on to your high school years.
Your performance in your sophomore and junior year of high school is where it counts the most. Not only does GPA matter, you will need to take an SAT test, and possibly SAT subject tests later, you will learn about these in high school. I am not a psychiatrist nor afflicted with medical experts, but I can tell you that the higher GPA you have in High school, and having good test scores will help you become a psychiatrist, or any other major. You’re still young, work hard in high school!
