<p>My DD is currently a college senior and she is finishing up the interview process for MD/PhD programs. I would add to the list that it is helpful if your college has easy access to an airport. She has spent quite a bit of time traveling during her senior year, and having an airport 15 minutes away from her campus has saved her a lot of time and stress! Would we have even thought of this when she was a junior or senior in high school? No way. She didn’t even decide to go this route until the end of her junior year in college. She does feel fortunate that her travel situation has been eased by easy airport access.</p>
