@katwkittens… what is a Dartmouth coach? I cant say that I am familiar with this… Thank you!

@chemfreak… how does one find out about FAP… I would love information on how to find our about this! and what is AMCAS? Thanks!

My daughter is well on her way to applying to medschool… she is still in high school but this has been a dream of hers for as long as I can remember…

We are from CT… and have Yale and UCONN to apply to. I am not sure if there are other medschools here but I am sure she will apply to schools in MA, NY, RI, NJ as well…

My question is… How many schools do students generally apply to? how is that decided?
Also, From what I understand, all med schools are basicially created equal from what I have read here ON CC… is this true? The reasoning is that all schools are required to teach the same material d/t certain standards! So my next question is, how does one decide on WHERE to decide? is it cost? a location close to home? acceptance rates?

I spoke to an adcom @ a school in Boston… and she said that last year that they had almost 8,000 apps for 167 slots… it seems like an uphill battle for those who want to become a DR… I wish all of you well!
