<p>Lots of kids in this area are earning enough dual-enrollment credits in high school (through the local community college) to enter college as juniors, and are then able to earn a college degree in just two years.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how this impacts these students' medical school or law school applications? Is earning a college degree in just two years on campus a good thing if your ultimate goal is medical school?</p>
<p>The general consensus is that med schools don't just want to see great academics on an application; they also want to see maturity (as well as many other things). Therefore, it's generally not encouraged for people to graduate early from college to go to med school earlier; usually if you do decide to graduate early, it's better to take a year and do something else productive and then apply to med school.</p>
<p>Yeah thats a bad idea - med schools want to see maturity and commitment to medicine through volunteering and clinical exposure, which you're not going to be able to get in just two years.</p>
