Pre-Med and Collegium V Honors

<p>sat2012 you’re fine. College is a complete fresh start in high school. Sure some people from your high school and maybe even your close friends might attend the same college but rarely are they going to ask you what you did in high school. As a freshman you might want to include some activities that you did in high school on resumes to some things (a few high school/early college programs ask for this) but they dont have to be medically related. They can show your other values like leadership and teamwork, things very important to the health care field. Join some pre-med organizations on campus and get involved in those. Talk to your advisors about any research or internship programs available to you as a freshman. Volunteer at hospitals and email professors doing research requesting a position if you are interested in what they are doing. Most people understand that high school and college is a time to find out what you want to do in life and they won’t judge you just because you did engineering related things in high school…those wont even matter in the med application process. If you want to get some clinical experience in before you actually hit undergrad consider volunteering at a hospital over the summer before your freshman year and shadow a doctor to see if you really like medicine. You can also look for high school/early college internship and research programs around your area. Hope this helped.</p>
