No specific programs that I can think of but ultimately you need to show interest in the healthcare field. For me there were summer programs local to me for math and science that exposed us to lots of things. So whether it’s something like that or shadowing, you need to have something on your application that shows your interest in medicine

I believe they do, but I would double check the website to be sure! It is challenging though as they have set percentages of students they take from Missouri and regional states prior to allowing outside students

This one was about 14!

It depends which year of the program you are in! In the first 3 years you get standard school breaks like spring break, winter break, and 2 weeks off at the beginning and end of summer semester

No benefit to submitting early that doesn’t weigh into the process. I would try and get as much experience as possible and just make sure it’s submitted before the deadline!

Your ACT is good and well above the average for a student accepted into the program. Scribing is hard to get into as a high school student but any healthcare experience or shadowing will help you. Some cities have summer camps or workshops that you can join to show interest. Ultimately the more healthcare experience you have the better but academically your scores are great! Applications will be coming out soon if they aren’t already so make sure you spend time on your essays too!

Thank you so much for answering my questions.I am wondering if I could do BLS ACLS certificate as a high school student to increase my chances

@@zanmar6764 you could do BLS but I am unsure if it will increase your chances. ACLS is much more advanced and likely wouldn’t be available to you at this point

@@zanmar6764 if you want to schedule a private session where we talk about the program, your questions, and walk you through the interview process, reach out to the email in my bio section on my channel and we can set up a meeting!

I'd yell CODE BLUE ROOM 14 and watch the carnage begin

The undergrad portions of the program can be quite challenging because you are on average taking much more classes than a normal college freshman would. This of course would be less if a student came in with lots of AP or transfer credits. The drop rate is high in the first 2 years because students either realize that medicine truly wasn’t for them or that the coursework was too much. I chose the liberal arts major pathway and had no issues registering for classes. Hope that helps!

@@jacobpereramd8094 Thank you very much for your detailed reply! This is super helpful!

Your son has done excellent academically you should be very proud! I think with the experience that he has he could certainly be a good candidate. As mentioned the review process is holistic and there are essays involved in the application so everything is important. Once you get to the interview stage that is the time to shine but based on just this he certainly has a great shot. His stats are definitely more impressive than mine were.

You've got this! If you want to run through a mock interview with me and to give you some tips, check out my Qalbaq profile! www.qalbaq.com/consultant-public-profile/Jacob

@@jacobpereramd8094, thanks!!!

Happy to hear that! Glad its working out for you

I had a 14 point increase from step 1

Sometimes you just gotta check! I do it just out of curiosity sometimes to see what my pulse is in high pressure situations like exams or times like this!

Hi! Great question. When you finish medical school you enter into the same match process as everyone else from all of the other MD and DO schools. There is no discrepancy as to which program you went to or how long it took. I matched into residency with people from all over the country and who did the traditional route. In short, it doesn't affect your salary or job opportunities, just saves you time and allows you to get started on your career sooner!

Hey Hayeon! During high school I took a pretty normal course load. I took 5 AP classes throughout my 4 years which isn't a ton but helped me out with some credits. My first ACT was a 32 but this was after I took a prep course. AP calculus is not required for this program, the highest level math class you will need will be college level algebra equivalent which I believe either AP calculus or AP statistics should cover! Best of luck in applying!

Absolutely! The best speciality out there. Feel free to reach out an email me (my email in my TH-cam bio) if you have questions or need help!

Tough to say! The content that you are learning is pretty much the same, but the thing that makes BA/MD programs more challenging is the condensed nature of the program, meaning its likely, especially in the beginning of the program, that you have more classes and responsibilities to juggle at one time than the average undergrad/med student would. Its all about prioritization and staying organized!

hyperkalemia would be a k value of 7.8, its a medical emergency. usually characterized by palpitations, heart rhythm changes noticeable on EKG, amongst other stuff I'm too lazy to google right now. its a problem that needs swift correction.

Hey Humra! I actually have been doing this for several applicants! If you check out my Qalbaq profile at www.qalbaq.com/consultant-public-profile/Jacob you can schedule a session with me and I can do a mock interview with you and give you feedback!
