[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has she taken premed courses already? And does she have the GPA required for realistic admission to med school? These are the questions I'd be asking. I don't know about the masters in AI.[/quote]

I believe that she has a 3.7 GPA. She has taken some bio and neuroscience classes. She has two classes left to complete her CS Major requirements. [/quote]

She needs to talk to her ivy they will have detailed stats. Mine is premed at an ivy and they do very well but it is late to change course.
3.7 from an ivy leaves med school well in play but if she has not done genchem, orgo, or physics yet she will need a gap year because she needs biochem after those and then will be ready to take the mcat. Medicine, even low-paid primary care, makes 275k+, many specialty areas over 400k some are 600k+. The max salary is reached about 3 years into private or hospital-based practice, which of course follows 3-4 yrs Residency at 80k after 4 yrs med school (top ones have both need based and merit fellowships, and top ones are much more likely coming from an ivy). For fiscally disciplined individuals living off 80k is possible as well as starting some loan pay-back, then "max" salary 250-400-or more will be reached around age 33 and the odds of ever being out of a job are extremely rare as a physician.
There is no guarantee tech/AI masters will lead to a job that makes over 275k and it may not ever make over 150k, and tech jobs are certainly not guaranteed for life. [/quote]
