Neom, PLEASE do not leave these boards. You are the “voice of HPME” and we need to hear what you have to say. I have been following your posts for years.

In my opinion, HPME is an AWESOME program, and anyone who turns it down is CRAZY! (Unless it is for financial reasons…) As ellen’s post reminded us, the admissions statistics do not tell the whole story. So many qualified students drop out of the pre-med track before the time comes to apply that the acceptance numbers appear to be better than they really are. I agree with the doctor cited in ellen’s post that this is as close to a guarantee as you will ever get in life. Why someone would want to pass that up is beyond me.

Northwestern is a GREAT school which is under the radar of many high school students. These boards help to educate the uniformed. There is so little information available about these programs. Having an experienced student tell it like it is cannot be replaced.

Neom, on behalf of all of the CC “Multiple Degree Program”-obsessed, I urge you to reconsider your decsion. It just would not be the same without you. We love you, man…
