<p>Xxandra, do you have some financial interest in them? The kid I know who went last summer dropped out of high school this fall (and was well on that path before he was accepted, ranked dead last in a class of several hundred). “International Travel” is a zero on a college app. Unless you were performing some kind of service, or really got out into the culture and had a unique experience.</p>
<p>If you ARE interested in Medicine, get a job or volunteer in a lab, or study for the USA Biology Olympiad or volunteer at a hospital or go to a biology camp of some kind. It will do MUCH more for your chances than this program would.</p>
