Wonderful post @narkor!! Definitely helpful to CC subforum members especially to those who are just starting to look at Bachelor/MD programs early on in high school and need to build up a CV. Thank you for taking the time out to do it, making it a comprehensive post and thank you for the shout out.
@Roentgen @GoldenRock @texaspg and @upstream - Truly this platform is alive and rocking because of you people. I stand by my D when she advises her junior peers to seek help from all of you. Thank you for the incessant support you all are rendering these determined, yet gullible young souls. I promise she is not exaggerating when she says that you all have āa wealth of informationā. Thanks again!
@narkor, oh, and almost forgot, congrats to your daughter in getting into Rochesterās REMS program. I have no doubt she will enjoy it, both in terms of a getting a full undergraduate experience at a really great undergrad and a great medical school thatās so close by.
@Roentgen , thank you much! Yes, she is having a great time at UofR. She is adapting to the very cold temperature and upcoming final exams. I hope she sustains herself through the coming winters. I must say REMS was her and our top choice as we fell in love with the environment the REMS staff offered while at there for the interview. Thus far, they havenāt failed us. For example- a special grad CARE assistant checks on a sick student if he/ she goes to the hospital to see a doctor. This maybe common at other schools as well. But, I as a parent havenāt seen that at NU for the last 2 years.
Sorry about typos and grammatical errors in my post #37. This is because I had to trim the paragraphs and removed punctuations etc last minute to fit the character limit before posting. DD is not happy reading my post modification with so many typos/ errors. I apologize that my last minute modifications ruined her grammar and writing
Most important corrections which I am sure anyone who reads will understand is:
SAT subject test scores:
Chem- 710 (not 71 as posted earlier)
Math 2- 750 (not 75)
Math 1- 770
As you can see D didnāt have the most stellar scores like most others who get into these programs. But, her personality and strong resume contributed to her acceptances. I deleted other club leaderships and all Honors society positions to accommodate the character limit.
@narkor SPECTACULAR RESUME your daughter had!! Shows dedication and personality can make the difference!
