Why aren't you a doctor, if you aren't? There is a limited pool of people that have an interest in medicine to begin with. Of those with an interest there is only a certain percentage with the intelligence, aptitude, and willingness to invest the time needed to become a doctor.

It’s been many years, so the current situation could be different, but when my wife was on a med school admissions committee after tossing out those not qualified for numerous reasons they would still be left with 6-8well qualified students for each opening in the 1st year class to pick from.
