[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is a lot of it had to do with his AA degree and the fact that Temple will accept all of those credits, his time at Temple will be only about 2 years, and he will be off to med school far sooner than any other school would have allowed.

Where did it mention an AA degree? [/quote]

His LinkedIn page:

“With a strong academic foundation from my dual enrollment experience and an Associate’s degree already earned, I’m excited to begin this next chapter fully focused on clinical excellence, leadership, and making a meaningful impact in the field of cancer care.”

And now that I read it more, I see I am exactly right: “Grade: Dual Enrollment Student
While still in high school, I enrolled at the Community College of Philadelphia through a dual enrollment program, balancing college coursework alongside my high school responsibilities. Through hard work, time management, and determination, I successfully earned my Associate of Science degree before graduating high school. This experience not only [b]accelerated my academic journey [/b]but also prepared me for the rigor of a four-year university. Earning a college degree as a high school student was both challenging and transformative—it strengthened my passion for learning and affirmed my commitment to pursuing a future in medicine and service.”

Zero highly selective schools would accelerate him beyond a semester or so. While he is accomplished, it is inaccurate to simple think he went with a school in his hometown for feel good reasons. [/quote]
