[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, go to info night. Your kid will be able to meet biomed kids there. Mine is engineering, but biomed kids do very well with internships and college apps. If your kid loves and excels in math, try to go straight to Calc BC from pre-calc.  The BC and Multivariable Calc teachers at Wheaton are phenomenal. The mvc teacher also teaches phyics C -- can't say enough good things about him). The first 2 years math teachers used to not be great, but one retired, and the other shifted elsewhere. So, hopefully those are good now too. Mag kids from both programs take math together. Also,  kid's AP lang and AP lit teachers were fantastic and excellent history and gov teachers too, in case you care about that.[/quote]

I agree with all of the above regarding the teachers. DC was in the biomed program and graduated recently.  They had a great experience.  Their teacher for AP bio and biomedical innovations was excellent as well.  DC loves math and took the mult class and Physics C class.  They found the teachers very approachable and learned so much.  Just know, however, that there is a lots of memorization in biology and too much art and drawing in the first year biology.  DC hates art so this was painful the first year, but in subsequent years, whenever they worked in groups, they would delegate the artistic/graphics/visual presentation tasks to others LOL.  [/quote]
