Medical school is very competitive probably for a lot of reasons. The curriculum in medical schools is not easy and becoming a physician takes a lot of commitment and a lot of time (several years). To be competitive for medical school, it is very important that a candidate have a high GPA, a strong background in the sciences, research involvement can be helpful, and excellent scores on the MCAT. Experience/exposure to the medical field is often highly regarded and shadowing experience is often looked upon favorably. Letters of recommendation can be an important component of a medical school application as well and should only be written by the appropriate people such as a science professor and should be from someone who definitely knows you well enough to write a personable letter. The medical field is a profession that a lot of people want to be a part of and contributes to the competition of getting into medical school along with the high expectations medical students have for applicants.

How hard is it to become a anesthesiologist?
Hard. It's very competitive to get into medical school. Once you get into medical school you are essentially competing with a class full of students just as motivated and dedicated as you. Only the top tier students in medical school will be able to specialize in areas such as anestheiology. If it's your dream to become one, stay dedicated and work as hard as you can - everything will fall in place.

It doesn't really work like that; anaesthetists are specialists, who have done postgraduate training after medical school. Your medical school won't impact your specialty training - only hard work can do that!
Where is the best medical school to become a pediatrician?
Any medical school will give you a medical degree. You can attend any of them, and once you have the degree you would apply to a residency training program in your area of interest - in your case Pediatrics (3 year residency). Any U.S. medical school will get you to that point. I would work as hard as you can in college so you can apply to get into one of them after college, and would avoid the Caribbean schools if possible.
