@ucbalumnus, @twogirls @WayOutWestMom @tsbna44 @parentologist appreciate your valuable suggestion and quick feedback on D29 profile.
I will take some time to review this information and discuss with my D29 about her career interests. if she wants to be 100% in in health care as doctor, or PA or Nurse etc, or be open to other career options.
With my two kids, I have to consistently pay 50k per year for next 10 to 12 years and at the same time taking care of emergency needs and travel budget
4-7 years for D29 and 4 years for D34. so, any college cost above 50k will go to kids’ student loan and they have to pay off themselves once they get the job.
I will also explore UF and UNC as options.
NYU is a costly option as it cost more than 100k per year
Below are some of the points I have summarized as part of my next steps.
- Recommendation letters from her fav teachers
- Focus on shortlisting Major subjects
- Explore teaching opportunities after BS or while doing BS as Teaching Assistant
- TFA is another opportunity to teach @twogirls can offer more advice
- Teaching is time consuming
6.State colleges can be a good option for premed - State college are best options for pre-med, so that you can save for MD
- AmeriCorps is a good option to teach after graduation, while working on your MCAT
- Bioinformatics can be good choice to blend mathematics, computers with biology
10.ExploreHealthCareers.org is a good website to explore more about health care jobs
11.SUNY Genesco is another choice for pre-med. - LACs are another option
- https://mccolloughscholars.as.ua.edu/ is another choice
- UDel
- Shadowing other doctors
One open question, how do you calculate NPS with in-state vs out of state vs college ranking?
Once again, I appreciate @ucbalumnus, @twogirls @WayOutWestMom @tsbna44 @parentologist 's valuable inputs. This has provided me a different perspective on how to approach college admissions.
