[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be careful with the schools that pad high pre med numbers- many are weeding out and only allowing those with near guarantee of acceptance apply.

For our family, the answer was easy: a top liberal arts college, undergrad research first semester, shadowing and hospital internships during the school year, outside college research afterwards and a Goldwater fellowship.  Now at Harvard med.[/quote]

Gap year and recent? Mine really doesn’t want to and is in a good place not to, but worries it’s now norm enough that it’s an advantage even if you’re ready so apply. [/quote]

kid should speak with  pre-Med advising. Top students do not need a gap. 35 and 40% of my kids' two different ivies go to med school without a gap year. gap years are fine but not needed nor expected. one of these ivies specifically tracks students toward gap year(s) if they do not do as well as expected after the first year in the premed/stem and would be advantaged by spreading out the difficult classes[/quote]
