If you're serious about medicine, it's not too soon to be thinking about med school. Admissions committees like to see certain things, and alot of it is the perception of what you can bring to the table. It's not just about having a 3.9 GPA and the usual hospital volunteer stuff.

Emergency medicine is a great field. I just can't deal with managing 20-50 patients at a time, and the ER is the ultimate dumping ground (meaning you have to treat anybody who comes through the door).

 

This was my perception on the matter too. Any pointers from someone who has gone down the same path. I'm about as serious as it gets about going down the medical school path.

 

Congrats. Pre-med is really competive there. Good luck. Class of '98 (bus-econ though).

 

man thats a bummer your goin to ucla.

you should have tried to get into USC

Trojans baby!

 

is this going to turn into another UCLA bashing??????





GO TROJANS!!!!! (USC Alum)

 

I didn't mean to start a ucla bashing, but when i see the word "ucla," i have to bash. I cannot seem to restrain myself.

its like when a bull sees the color red, he charges.

 

USC didn't teach you that bull don't see color? Haha. I got into both, USC is much easier to get into.

 

i just got the notified online that i was accepted too . not sure if im going there, gonna wait on more colleges first

 

UCLA vs. figueroa tech. That's pretty funny - especially for pre-med.

 

kyosho, you got into usc or ucla?

yea, im going to usc this coming fall im so pumped. usc is my dream school.

 

kyosho. What other universities are you looking at? Just curious.

 

I dont go to UCLA but my girlfriend does so Im there a ****load
If you see a DG coupe in the DeNeve turnaround its probably me
Ive been seeing a black 05 coupe lately, anyone here?

 

omar and brewin: i meant that i got into LA. acceptance decisions came online on saturday. i applied to most of the UCs (I, R, LA, B, SD), USC, calpoly pomona/san luis obispo. im 5 for 5 so far (I, R, LA, Pomona/SLO) and waiting on the rest of the decisions. i just want to stay in socal for school. i like being close to home, or maybe im just too dependent

 

Hey Kyosho, which high school? Diamond Bar or Wal Nut? I'm waiting on Berkeley and Stanford. I got guaranteed to Irvine before I even applied.

 

UCLA or Berkeley - it's a no brainer. (unless you have a specific major that one of the other universities excels in).
