When enrolling in college, you may find yourself looking into BS/MD programs, especially if you have the intent of becoming a doctor in the future. When people think of doctors, the first thought is, “I would never want to spend that much time in school!” Becoming a doctor through a traditional college is a lot of work.
First you will need to obtain your bachelor’s degree both with excellent grades and in a field that directly corresponds with the type of doctor that you wish to be. This process could take anywhere from four to seven years, depending on the way you structure your courses.
Next, you will need to apply and be accepted to medical school. There are many of these options available, and many of the requirements are different between schools. It is a good idea to look into the schools that you are interested in, well before application time. With preparing early, you will have a better chance of reaching the school’s requirements. After you have been admitted, you will then spend the next four to seven years mastering your craft. So after everything is said and done, you are looking at a minimum of eight years devoted to your education. If you don’t plan efficiently or have some problems with some of your classes you may even be looking at fourteen years!
This long time frame has caused many students to begin looking for other options and may cause you to look into BS/MD programs. These programs are ways that you can rapidly obtain both your BS and your MD degree at the same time. These programs are usually chosen by high school students who have a strong desire to become a doctor and can help them receive their MD degree in as little as seven or eight years. So, what do you need to know about these programs and are there any easy options available?
First, you should realize that these programs are extremely selective and the course work is incredibly intense. Although many of these programs do not require you to take the MCAT, they do have requirements on grade point average as well as ACT and SAT scores. Typical programs require a minimum 3.5 GPA along with an ACT score of 30 or better and an SAT score of 1300 or better. Requirements vary depending on the program, so you will need to look into the specific requirements of the program that you are considering.
As far as being an easier way to earn your MD degree, BS/MD programs are certified in much the same way as a traditional MD degree is. The difference is these programs combine your undergraduate degree with courses that you will need to obtain your MD degree. You can also expect a much larger work load with these programs since the information is provided in such a short amount of time.
If you are a student who wishes to receive the full “college-life” experience, a BS/MD program may not be for you. These programs are intended for those whose only focus is on school. While an average semester class schedule at a traditional college usually falls in the 12-15 range for course study hours, with a BS/MD program you are looking more at 14-19 hours every semester. This workload does not allow much time for socialization or extra-curricular activities.
These programs may also be difficult to locate when you are looking into them. As before mentioned they are usually selective and offer limited spacing. Below are some schools that offer these programs:
University of Alabama
University of California San Diego
University of Colorado Denver
Howard University
George Washington University
University of Miami
Boston University
And many others
Although these programs can help you receive your MD degree rather quickly, the majority of doctors today have received their degrees through a traditional medical school program. Whether this is due to the course load, entry requirements or the lack of a college experience, is hard to say.
When considering these programs, it is important to understand what a typical student can expect. In order to qualify for these programs, you will want to plan ahead and make the best grades possible while in high school. Be sure to study hard and make excellent scores on both your ACT and SAT in order to qualify.
Some programs require that applicants be in the top 5% of your graduating class, so this is another item that you need to watch for. By earning your BS/MD degrees through one of these programs, you will have the ability to fast track your career to being a doctor. However, it is important to understand that these programs are not easy.
Like any form of education participating in a BS/MD program requires hard work and dedication. You should be prepared for many hours spent studying and mastering your trade. Be sure to study your options carefully before choosing a BS/MD Program and plan carefully to make the best use of your time.

Các lớp học nâng cao - Advanced Placement Classes
Vậy bạn nghĩ bản thân bạn là một sinh viên tốt. Bạn thật siêng năng khi hoàn
thành các bài tập về nhà. Bạn háo hức tham gia lớp học. Bạn không bao giờ
để một bài nghiên cứu đến vào phút chót mới làm. Và, quan trọng nhất, bạn đạt
được điểm số thật tuyệt vời. Vậy cũng đủ cho một ban tuyển sinh đúng
không? Không thực sự cần thiết.
Chắc chắn, thứ hạng tốt là một tiêu chuẩn của một sinh viên tài năng và mạnh
mẽ, có khả năng. Thứ hạng tốt làm nổi bật khả năng trí tuệ, một bản tính
tận tâm và coi trọng việc học. Tất nhiên, đây là những giá trị thuộc tính của
trường đại học Tuy nhiên, ngoài vấn đề đjat được thứ hạng tốt, trường còn muốn thấy
bạn có thể tự cố gắng và thách thức chính mình. Họ muốn có bằng chứng rằng bạn
có thể phát triển việc học tập và rằng bạn không hài lòng với việc chỉ đơn giản
cố gắng một chút để thành công. Hơn nữa, họ muốn biết rằng bạn sẽ có thể học được
các lớp đại học. Và đó là nơi mà các khóa học nâng cao vào cuộc chơi.
Các lớp học nâng cao (hoặc là lớp APs theo cách nói của trường trung học) thường là các khóa học khó khăn nhất mà trường học sẽ tổ chức Được thiết kế để phản ánh chương trình học tại đại học, các lớp học nâng cao học nhanh hơn và bao gồm nhiều tài liệu hơn các khóa học dự bị đại học cơ bản Vì các lớp học nâng cao khó, nên nhiều trường trung học điều chỉnh trọng số của thứ hạng đạt được Vì vậy, trong khi điểm "A" có thể bằng một điểm 4,0 trong một lớp học bình thường thì có thể nói tăng lên tương đương một điểm 4.4 khi khóa học nâng cao.
Tuy nhiên, bạn không nên đăng ký bừa bãi các lớp học nâng cao, càng nhiều
càng tốt với hy vọng thu hút sự chú ý của các nhân viên tuyển sinh. Trường
trung học sẽ không ấn tượng với bạn nếu bạn phải vất vả học xong các lớp. Thay
vào đó, hay đăng ký các khóa học một cách có chiến lược Bạn có phải là một
người mê lịch sử không? Vậy hãy cố ghi danh khóa học nâng cao về Lịch sử
Châu Âu hoặc Chính phủ và Chính trị. Nếu bạn là một người được cho là
thích môn khoa học, hãy nghĩ đến việc ghi danh khóa học nâng cao về Sinh học hoặc
Hóa học. Tóm lại, có trên 30 khóa học nâng cao khác nhau, từ các môn cơ bản
tới lý thuyết âm nhạc, nghệ thuật phòng thu và thậm chí cả tiếng Trung. Và
trong khi hầu hết thì các trường không cung cấp hết tất cả 30 khóa học nâng
cao, thì thường là vẫn có nhiều lớp để lựa chọn.
Một khía cạnh tuyệt vời của các khóa học nâng cao đó là bạn thực sự có thể đạt được tín chỉ đại học từ những khóa học này. Đúng thế, bạn đã đọc đúng đó Bạn thấy đấy, mỗi lớp nâng cao có một kỳ thi tương ứng được tổ chức vào Tháng 5. Các bài kiểm tra thường khoảng 2 tới 3 giờ và bao gồm một bài tiểu luận, những câu trả lời ngắn và các câu hỏi trắc nghiệm. Các kỳ thi được cho điểm theo thang điểm từ 1 tới 5. Mặc dù các quy định là khác nhau giữa các trường, thường thì điểm 4 hoặc 5 (và đôi khi là điểm 3) là bạn đã có 1 tín chỉ. Và điều này chuyển thành thời gian và tiền bạc tiết kiệm được. Ngoài ra, đôi khi một số điểm tốt trong một kỳ thi của lớp nâng cao sẽ giúp bạn có đủ khả năng bỏ qua các lớp dẫn nhập tại trường đại học. Điều đó có nghĩa là bạn sẽ có thể bỏ qua điều kiện tiên quyết và vào học thẳng các khóa học chuyên ngành.

Bạn không cần phải thực sự tham gia khóa học nâng cao để đi thi. Ngược
lại, bạn không nhất thiết bị yêu cầu tham dự kỳ thi ngay cả khi bạn có tham gia
học khóa học nâng cao. Tuy nhiên, nếu bạn cảm thấy tự tin, bạn nên đăng ký thi.
Không có gì để mất mà lại có được tín chỉ đại học.

Parent Action Plan: 11th Grade
Junior year usually marks a turning point. This is because for most students and families, it’s when college planning activities kick into high gear. Here are some things you can do this year to support your child and give him or her the best options.
Summer
Get the facts about what college costs. You may be surprised by how affordable higher education can be. Start by reading Understanding College Costs.
Explore financial aid options. These include grants and scholarships, loans, and work-study programs that can help pay for college costs. Find out more about how financial aid can make college affordable.
Fall
Make sure your child meets with the school counselor. This meeting is especially important this year as your 11th-grader starts to engage in the college application process. Learn more about the counselor's role in applying to college.
Encourage your child to set goals for the school year. Working toward specific goals helps your high schooler stay motivated and focused.
Help your child stay organized. Work with your 11th-grader to make weekly or monthly to-do lists to keep on top of the tasks required to get ready for applying to colleges. For more time-management tips, see 8 Ways to Take Control of Your Time.
Help your junior get ready for the PSAT/NMSQT in October. This is a preliminary test that helps students practice for the SAT and assess their academic skills. Juniors who score well on the test are also eligible for scholarship opportunities. Find out more about the PSAT/NMSQT.
Winter
Review PSAT/NMSQT results together. Your child’s score report comes with a free SAT study plan. This online, customized plan is based on your child’s test scores and can help him or her work on areas that need improvement. Learn more about this individualized SAT study plan.
Help your child prepare for college admission tests. Many juniors take college admission tests, such as the SAT and the ACT, in the spring so they can get a head start on planning for college. See which tests your high school junior may need to take.
Discuss taking challenging courses next year. Taking college-level or honors courses as a senior can help your child prepare for college work — and these are also the courses that college admission officers like to see. Learn more about advanced classes.
Encourage your junior to consider taking SAT Subject Tests. Many colleges require or recommend taking these tests to get a sense of your child’s skills in a certain academic area. In general, it’s best to take a Subject Test right after taking the relevant course. Learn more about SAT Subject Tests.
Encourage your child to take AP Exams. If your 11th-grader takes AP or other advanced classes, have him or her talk with teachers now about taking these tests in May. Read more about the AP Program.
Spring
Search together for colleges that meet your child’s needs. Once you have an idea of the qualities your child is looking for in a college, help him or her enter these criteria into College Search to create a list of colleges to consider applying to.
Help your child research scholarships. This form of financial aid provides money for college that doesn’t need to be repaid. Learn more through College Board’s Scholarship Search.
Attend college fairs and financial aid events. These events allow you to meet with college representatives and get answers to questions. Your child can ask the school counselor how to find events in your area. Check out the College Fair Checklist for more information.
Help your child make summer plans. Summer is a great time to explore interests and learn new skills — and colleges look for students who pursue meaningful summer activities. Help your high schooler look into summer learning programs or find a job or internship.
Visit colleges together. Make plans to check out the campuses of colleges your child is interested in.
College Undermatching
There’s a great article in “Inside Higher Ed” written by Scott Jaschik entitled “Admissions Mismatch” in which Scott discusses how many students are either undermatching at colleges or overmatching. If you’re wondering what is meant by undermatching or overmatching, undermatching is not applying to or attending the most prestigious school that will admit a student, while overmatching is applying to or attending a school that you’re not academically qualified for. College undermatching as well as overmatching are on the rise and it’s a trend that has been happening for a while.
According to the piece in “Inside Higher Ed,” “The study — of a large national cohort of students — found 25 percent to be overmatching and 28 percent undermatching. In most cases, the study found, students and their families are responsible for the apparent mismatching that is going on. ‘Perhaps most surprising to us, student decisions drive mismatch in almost all cases. Most students who mismatch either do not apply to a well-matched school or apply and are admitted, but do not enroll,’ the authors write. ‘Typically students who are mismatched aren’t getting rejected by appropriate colleges: they are either not applying, or are getting in and opting not to enroll.’”
Many students who overmatch hail from more highly regarded high schools and more affluent communities. The same is not the case for students who undermatch. As the article in “Inside Higher Ed” points out, it’s not that these students are getting denied admission to more prestigious schools and so choose to undermatch. Often times, they don’t even apply to these more prestigious schools or, if they do, they choose not to go. Financing the tuition can be a major factor here. Do you think that’s one of the main reasons for undermatching? Let us know your thoughts on the subject by posting below!
Demonstrating Leadership During High School
It’s pretty much a given that election season will bring discussions about leadership into sharp focus. We debate fiercely about whom will best represent our interests and ideals. Election Day is officially behind us, but the topic of leadership should still be on your mind as you prepare for college.
As you make your way through high school, one sentiment you’ll hear repeatedly is that colleges value applicants who demonstrate leadership. And while that’s a useful piece of information, you might be wondering how exactly one emerges as a leader. After all, you’re a solitary person in a student body that likely numbers in the hundreds or thousands. How do you distinguish yourself? Naturally, we have a few suggestions for you!
Get Some Experience
Listen, we think it’s great that you want to take charge and make a mark on your school. However, you can’t expect to immediately become president of the environmental club or an editor of the school newspaper. Sheer desire is rarely enough to automatically propel you to the top. You first need to get involved and demonstrate your passion and interest. Moreover, you have to learn how a club functions and recognize the goals of said organization. After all, how can you expect to lead if you don’t understand the processes that are in place?
Maintain Good Humor and Optimism
It’s inevitable that we will all encounter trials and tribulations in our lives. However, what separates a good leader from bad is how he/she handles stumbling blocks. Strong leaders don’t get stymied instantly nor do they dissolve into a pool of negativity. Instead, they know how to rally the troops and retain focus in spite of issues. They prove themselves to be dependable and demonstrate that they can barrel through (or around) obstacles. And great leaders convince others that they can do the same!
Learn from Your Mistakes
Mistakes are another one of life’s inevitabilities. We’re all going to make them. And that’s a fact. However, great leaders don’t shy away from mistakes. Nor do they sweep them under the metaphorical rug and deny that they happened. Instead, leaders understand it’s important to own up to a mistake. They view errors as learning opportunities and recognize how to grow from them.
Be Confident
Confidence is key to achieving a leadership position. Think about it; would you want to take orders from someone who ends every statement with a question? Do you want to follow someone who stares at his/her feet when making conversation? People are much more willing to get behind a person who is poised and self-assured. If you don’t believe in yourself why should anyone else?
Consider Your Strengths
If you hate public speaking, there’s not much sense in attempting to become president of the debate team. It doesn’t matter if a club is the largest, the most popular or an organization you think might attract attention from colleges. There’s no sense in climbing the ranks if you’re miserable. Instead, focus on activities and topics about which you’re passionate. Your enthusiasm and sincerity will shine through. And that will allow people to put their trust in you!
Be a People Person
To be a successful leader requires strong interpersonal skills. You’ll need to be a solid listener and great communicator. Further, you have to be open to other people’s ideas and follow the golden rule of treating others as you’d like to be treated. Above all, everyone wants to feel valued and know that their voice has been heard.
It’s great that you’re thinking about pursuing a leadership role at school. Helping to run a club is a fantastic way to challenge yourself and to anchor yourself within your school community. Follow these simple rules and you’ll be running the show in no time!

Dealing With College Rejection Letters
After meeting all deadlines for applications, FAFSA, CSS Profile, here come admission decisions time. Students will soon be receiving notification. It’s an exhilarating albeit nerve-wracking time. For some, it’ll be a moment of excitement, elation and relief. For others, well, there might be tears, disappointment and confusion. Yes, getting rejected is bound to happen to some of you. It’s simply the sad reality of the admissions game.
Naturally, we realize this can be a difficult time. To that end, we thought we’d offer up some advice on how to best deal with rejection.
It’s okay to be upset.
Rejection is difficult, no matter the context. It’s important to understand that you’re permitted to be sad or upset. Allowing yourself to feel these emotions is completely healthy and, in fact, a vital part of the healing the process. Just make sure you don’t dwell in a negative head space for too long.
Talk to a trusted friend, family member or guidance counselor.
Often times, talking through your emotions and venting your frustrations can help you find closure or clarity. Consider speaking with a friend who also received a rejection. You’ll be able to sympathize with each other and perhaps buoy each other’s spirits. You might also want to talk with your parents. After all, they’re certainly your biggest champions. Moreover, they’ve probably encountered a stumbling block (or two!) in their life. And they can likely shed some insight on how to overcome a setback. Finally, schedule an appointment with your guidance counselor. He/she can analyze the situation and help you focus on other options.
Make a list of pros and cons for the school.
Aside from being a wildly fun activity, crafting a list of pros and cons will likely provide some much needed objectivity. Find a moment for some earnest reflection and really think about what your dream school would have offered, warts and all. You might come to the realization that things have actually worked out for the best. Additionally, the list can be used for comparison against the schools you’re still considering. You could be pleasantly surprised to discover just how closely some your other collegiate options really do measure up to this particular school.
Ask for feedback.
We know it might sound a little awkward or intimidating, but you can contact an admissions office to inquire about their decision. Many schools are happy to shed some light on the thought process involved. And you can use their answers to potentially tweak your other applications accordingly.
Realize it’s not the end of the world.
When you receive a rejection letter, it can appear as though the world is crashing down upon you. In the blink of an eye, everything you worked for seems for naught. However, the reality is really far less dramatic. You will be okay. You will survive. Everyone gets rejected from time to time. In fact, plenty of your peers are probably facing the same predicament. Getting rejected from a school doesn’t signify that you’ll never be successful. Or that you should rethink your dreams and professional ambitions. It simply means that you won’t be pursuing your studies at a particular institution.
Listen, rejection is difficult. No one wants to be turned down, especially from a school they had their heart set on attending. If you find yourself in this situation, try not to get too discouraged. Sure, you can take a moment to wallow. However, don’t let yourself be waylaid by this one decision. Instead, realize that this isn’t a commentary on your worth; colleges are frequently forced to reject qualified candidates. Do your utmost to move past this minor (yes minor!) roadblock and begin to focus on the other higher ed. possibilities that are sure to come your way!
