[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If into wilderness EMT, Dartmouth all the way!!!

Dartmouth offers a 3-week Wilderness EMT (W-EMT) program every Fall break that a lot of premeds do, and it's facilitated through EMS. Additionally, every year there's Wilderness First Responder (WFR) courses in the spring usually. People have worked in wilderness first responder capacities as well, helping people who got hurt on the trails nearby.

Almost no other university offers these certifications; you typically have to travel to take the courses and get them. Also, if you're a skier - ski patrol is the best extracurricular.

Honestly though, your kid will need “something special” to stand out and not be another boring science/pre med kid.

Like working at a plant nursery, local farm or health food store? Or beekeeping and producing medicinal honey? Or foraging for medicinal mushrooms?[/quote]

Dartmouth didn’t release much info about its ED acceptances but they did release this “  Ninety-eight percent were ranked in the top 10% of their senior class, and a record-setting 22% are projected to graduate as either valedictorian or salutatorian.”[/quote]

Yeah but most schools don’t rank. Two kids from our school got in ED. Neither received cum laude after junior year and so neither in top 10%. But they don’t count because school doesn’t rank. [/quote]

exactly. the fine print for all these schools - is that those stats only apply for the kids that submitted ranking. Most private schools dont. And for some schools, private schools can make up 35-40% of the incoming class.[/quote]

You must have only read the first part of my post.  Private  schools have ways of telegraphing whose at the top of the class.[/quote]
