[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] Exactly. If you haven't been shadowing, doing medical research, getting clinical hours from day one, then adding premed prerequistites starting junior year isn't close to enough to be able to apply to med school at the end of third year. That doesn't even take into account MCAT studying, which you can't really do until you have taken the prerequisites. She is looking at least at one and probably two post-bac years before being in a position to apply to medical school. To me, this doesn't sound like someone really committed to the medical life, and I would go with the CS/AI route. [/quote]
