<p>@ mickysolomovici: You may want to post this in your own thread, where it’ll get more information 
Good luck!</p>
<p>Micky you should look at St. Andrews Medical School in Scotland.</p>
<p>May I ask which of the HADES GCM has the strongest theatre program?</p>
<p>I can’t speak for the other schools, but Choate has a great theater program. The Paul Mellon Arts Center has a theater that holds around 600 people. This spring, the school put on a spectacular production of Les Miserables that ran for two weekends and sold out for all five nights. There were about 70 kids involved in the show, and every soloist that appeared on stage was more talented than the one before. We brought relatives who just could not believe that this was a high school production. There is an “Arts Concentration” program where the serious theater/music kids can perform year round as their sport or afternoon activity. Inside the PMAC there is a wall of photos of all of the famous actors and musicians who have attended the school- Edward Albee, Glenn Close, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Douglas are some that come to mind. The only other prep school production I have been to was at Loomis Chaffee- there just was no comparison to Choate’s program.</p>
<p>@ mickysolomovici: agree you might want to post your own separate thread. If you’re thinking ahead to med school, my general advice (having had immediate family members go through the process) for high school is not to focus on a particular med school or college but do the absolute best you can in the hardest possible classes in math & the hard sciences that you can find–and don’t neglect English and history and languages, because that will matter to a top U.S. school. With very few exceptions, once you get to college I’d advise you NOT to do a “pre-med” major if it’s available (Biology, Physics, Math, are fine–but so is Music, etc.). The top med schools tend to look for broader college interests; a record that shows a single-minded dedication to going to med school from early teens is not necessarily a good thing on review of the kind of people a medical school wants in a very competitive program in which a successful applicant should also demonstrate an interest in and talent for people/patient interpersonal skills.</p>
