Completely paid pre med programs?

<p>Any one know of such?</p>

<p>Premed just means going to college. Plenty of colleges offer scholarships.</p>

<p>I know that, but many colleges don't even aknowledge pre-med. I just want to know if anyone knows of a PROGRAM that has to do specifically for pre med. In these programs, you do more things than just take the classes and such. I already have a totally paid program just for college.</p>

Yeah, that's okay. You don't need them to.</p>

<p>uhmm k. thanks.</p>

<p>What are you talking about? I'm confused.</p>

<p>Um, "I know that, but many colleges don't even aknowledge pre-med."</p>

<p>Premed is just the set of classes that are considered prereqs for med school. I don't understand.</p>

<p>Yes, YES Premedical is a set of classes required to get into Medical school. However, I am looking for a program that gets together individuals interested in Pre-Med and pays for their college. Is that more clear?</p>

<p>I fail to see why such a program would be either necessary or attractive. Premeds often congregate together simply by virtue of having so much class together, and there are invariably premed societies at any school with an appreciable premed population. Basically, getting a free ride to a school that has a decent number of premeds will likely have the same practical effect as these mysterious programs you're looking for.</p>

</p>

<p>I'd just stick with that one. They are very difficult to get. Congrats. What school and scholarship? Is it a school you like? If so, you are pretty much done.</p>

<p>I don't see how a program that puts premeds together would be desirable. Many premeds lack the qualities you would want in a friend or a human being. I generally try to avoid premeds.</p>

<p>Simple answer: There are no programs that puts pre-meds together for any purpose, pre-paid or otherwise.</p>

<p>I'm continuously surprised by the weird things that obscure colleges try to use to lure talented students. I wouldn't put such a program past some marketing agent out there.</p>

BS/MD programs do this. Not all, but many group their students separate from all the other students. The program I am does not do this. The BS/MD students are just "like everyone else." However, these programs are not "completely paid" unless you have a scholarship from the school. The scholarship would have nothing to do with the program itself.</p>

<p>OK, I didn't consider the BS/MD or BA/MD programs, since these kids are not your typical "pre-med". But you may be right about the segregation.</p>

<p>I would try Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD Uniformed</a> Services University of the Health Sciences. Free medical education but you pay back with service in the military. I believe the minimum was 7 years in the past but I would recommend checking. I have known some physicians who will serve for 20 years and collect a pension in their late 40s, and start a second medical career outside the military. On the other hand, you can be sent to Iraq. I would say that this is a career for someone who believes strongly in the military mission and can deal with the vagaries of defense department policy changes from one administration to another. Also, involves a lot of experiences abroad for anyone who likes travel.</p>

You obviously haven't met a lot of premeds.</p>

<p>yeah, i think being cloistered with other premeds in some sort of special program is inherently a very, very bad idea</p>

<p>Uniformed Services University is not for pre-med; it's a medical or graduate nursing school.</p>
