Medical School from High School

About the Book

This book is the most complete source on the nation’s medical school early admission programs. These programs allow informed and motivated students to apply directly to medical school while applying to colleges, all directly from high school. These programs are hidden gems that come in varying shapes and sizes, ranging from six to eight years, designed to attract bright students interested in becoming a physician. Their somewhat ambiguous nature is brought to light in detail. Their various titles, including BA/MD or BS/MD programs, fast-track medical programs, and medical scholar programs, all lend to the ambiguity, which is explained and categorized in a uniform format. This book provides information on all aspects of the application process, including a Q&A session explaining frequently asked questions, the application process, SAT and GPA requirements, and interview advice. Your career choice is one of the most important decisions you can make. A career in medicine is extremely competitive but also highly intellectually, professionally, and personally satisfying. If seriously committed to a career in medicine, learn how you can take advantage of these unique programs and make the right decision early.
