[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The extra year isn't just about classes, it's about studying for MCAT which can only be done after taking the missing courses and also fulfilling large amounts of hours of research, clinical and volunteer hours. Presumably an Ivy student is also interested in top med schools which also makes all of this even more critical to be top notch.[/quote] Are there guidelines for how many research, clinical and volunteer hours an applicant should have, and what kinds of activities count for each? Is it realistic that OP's kid could take the course work, and then take a year or two to work in a CS related position while studying, and completing these hours before deciding whether to apply? It seems like that would give them more information to compare the two paths.[/quote]
