You are very confused.

First, "passing grade" is not nearly good enough. You must be a student A for the rest of your academic life.

So here's how to become a doctor:
1) Get a degree. It does not matter what your major, as long as you have completed the series of courses pre-Med and do well at the MCAT examination of your junior year or senior. It takes four years, and you must go to a college or university, and not a community college.
2) School of Medicine. 4 years.
3) Residence, 4 years.
4) More training, if necessary, otherwise you're done! Total time = 12-15 years, approximately.

its more than honey you need a BA in pre med and med that is like 4 years and maybe more if you just want to concentrate on one area ... you can do good luck!
