<p>I am a female high school senior at the moment who will be attending Virginia Tech in the fall with a full academic scholarship (of which I’m thrilled about).
I know that it is never too early to start thinking about medical schools, and I’ll be a Biology major, Art History minor, and Pre-Med at Virginia Tech.</p>
<p>I’m a first generation college student, and will be the first doctor in my family, thus, any help/information/advice about medical schools would be lovely. I’ve obviously heard of reputations of some schools, but I’m looking for a little more than just prestige value (although that is welcome as well).</p>
<p>Thanks. (:</p>
<p>i thought this said "medieval schools.
darn. :(</p>
<p>Hahaha, sorry to disappoint.</p>
<p>To-do list for the first day at college:
- Find your advisor, set up an appointment to meet with him or her, and get help planning out your four years. If they’re elusive or unhelpful, find another advisor.
- Find the pre-med advisor, set up an appointment to meet with him or her, and get help planning out your four years. If there is no specifically appointed pre-med advisor, find a senior biology major and ask him or her who med-school-bound people tend to get advice from.</p>
<p>Success is going to be about understanding the system and being proactive. I love the fact that you’re already planning ahead, so all you need is someone who can guide you through the system.</p>
