There are plenty of warm bodies now. Schools are opening up all over the place, residency spots aren't keeping up.

Agreed.

Step 1 is hard, but not even close to the last test she'll have to pass to become a practicing Physician.. Even if she gets through Step 1, she will still have Step 2 , Step 3 (which is 2 parts and expensive), and Step 4 during her residency.

..and thats not even the Board exam she'd have to pass to start practicing in her specific area of practice.

..and having to re-certify every few years

Not trying to be negative, but the reality is becoming a Doctor is freaking hard and very expensive.

If she truly desires to be in Medicine, I'd recommend trying nursing school/P.A. school (both of which are quite competitive and difficult as well)
