<p>Hey, Baker 017!</p>
<p>Yeah, I know I did, I completely fell in love with the atmoshphere and health-related opportunities USF offered me. Actually I want to be exactly where you are in 4 years, ready to enter med-school. So if you don’t mind, I got a couple of questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Does USF medical school give any preference to their own undergraduates students when applying to med-school?</p></li>
<li><p>Any advice on my path to med-school???..any plan to follow?..any programs I should know about?..any opportunities I should be aware of?..any recommendations?..any teacher recommendations?</p></li>
<li><p>I’m having a real hard time deciding in what to major. I know that I don’t need to major in science to be eligible for med-school, but I want to major in science, since it has always been a subject I enjoyed and was interested in. However, I’m worried that if I don’t get into med-school, I am going to be stuck with a science degree with very few job prospects, which usually involve research, which I don’t mind, but I am more interested in primary care. I don’t want to end up like a co-worker of mines, who graduated from UF(University of Florida) with a science major, and was not able to find a job, and he is now working in the same restaurant I am working at. So, what about vocational careers as a good back up plan?..such as nursing, occupational therapy(since I like primary care careers) which make a good salary, and job prospects seem to keep increasing in these areas?. Unfortunately, I was told vocational careers are looked down by med-schools???(is this true??),then it would not make sense, since my number one goal no matter what is to make it to med-school. Any suggestion from own or friends/family experience on which science major has good salary and job prospects? What did you major in? Did you minor in something?</p></li>

<li>Check this link to a college confidential discussion based on my question from number #3…it gets really interesting…see if you can read it all, especially the second page where Ky-anh Tran and bluedevilmike go back and forth arguing pretty much about what I am concerned about. </li>
