you know I’m not pre-med, but I think I have some questions that might clarify some of your points. (I think they’re all ready good, for what it’s worth.)

5) What makes reapplying more difficult? Is it just the process of applying and interviewing again, or will schools actually see you differently?
8) Do you think people should start at the beginning of freshman year? (My personal opinion is that, in the interest of being careful with #2, it’s probably better for most people to start in the spring.)
Also, if you are actually doing research as freshman, how are you supposed to know what to do before you’ve taken classes and learned some lab techniques? Would you expect the professor to give you the research question and methods?
