<p>In just a few years you will spend 6-7 hours a day with premeds. It’s called med school.</p>
<p>Until then, spend some time with normal people.</p>
<p>Until then, maybe you should learn to be slightly more respectful. I only asked for some feedback and all I got was well, bull. Thank you but no thank you. And maybe premeds are weird but that’s because they have a whole load of crap to study for, fyi.
Seriously, this board is not for arguing. Again, I just looked for some feedback, and thank you so much for those who gave it to me nicely. There’s no need in this world to be rude.</p>
<p>fyi, virtually everyone who has responded to you is much, much further along in the process than you are, NCG and I are current applicants who have already been accepted to med school, goldshadow is well along in his undergrad, bdm is already in med school, and pymen I believe has sat on med school admissions committees in the past. So, maybe you should just take honest advice for what it’s worth rather than completely overreacting and presuming that the people responding to you have no idea what they’re talking about; if that were the case, why ask for input in the first place?</p>
<p>The fact that no one appears to have heard of any of the sorts of programs that your interested in mean that they’re likely highly unusual, most likely because most universities try to build an interdisciplinary community at a school, and such introverted programs would be counterproductive towards that end. Plus, from a practical standpoint, premed has such an absurdly high attrition rate, that it would probably be a pretty miserable experience to watch the majority of friends you’ve made as a result of being insulated from the rest of the school drop out one by one from the program.</p>
<p>500th post, woot!</p>
<p>You started off asking a vague question and then began snapping at people when they asked you to clarify. Reread your replies again. They are impatient and sarcastic. Not the best way to get a question answered. I simply answered in kind.</p>
<p>And I still mean what I said. In medical school, you will spend almost every moment of every day with your fellow classmates. You will date them. You will eat with them. You will learn to palpitate them. Chances are you will marry one. Spend your college days hanging out with people from other majors and backgrounds if you can.</p>
<p>Sorry. I thought the initial question was for pre-paid medical school. If you can get a full scholarship for whatever reason-academic or sports- you can fulfill the pre-med requirement and apply to medical school. I guess that would qualify as a paid pre-med program. I also know that Case Western is fairly generous in their scholarships for high achieving students and even some students in their PPSP (who are admitted directly from h.s.) can get scholarships.</p>
<p>Case Western is <em>very</em> generous. I’d assume that quite a few of their direct med students get scholarships, based on how competitive entrance to those programs can be.</p>
<p>^They are generous, but the tuition isn’t cheap. I don’t think they give that much money compared to other schools when compared to tuition.</p>
