[quote=Anonymous][quote]Is this speculative sound bites or do you know for sure the kid opted for the accelerated medical school program at Florida? [/quote]

Very speculative because she is a high school senior and can't even apply for the program until her sophomore year in college.  All we know right now is that she will attend the University.

Here's how the program works (copied and pasted from the U.F. site.)

"Junior Honors Medical Program offers a fast track to medical school. Students apply to this highly competitive program (12 spaces only) in the second semester of the second year of undergraduate study. If selected, they begin coursework for medical school in the third year and enter the M.D. program in the fourth year. After completion of the first year of medical school, students earn their B.S. degree.
Admission Criteria: 1200 SAT; 3.5 GPA. Apply during sophomore year"

And you don't have to take the MCAT if you are accepted to the program!  We have a close friend who just went through the program.  It's obviously very competitive and there are no guarantees my daughter will get in.  If she doesn't get in, she can just go the traditional route if she still wants to be a doctor.  And I say "if" because I changed my major three times when I was in college.[/quote]
