<p>so who's going to interviews (Feb 28-March1)?</p>
<p>does anyone know anything about the transportation from airport to the university? Is it a shuttle? When does it make the trip?</p>
<p>Also, if you get there before noon (checkin is 10am-4pm), where do you eat lunch?</p>
<p>I have a question JohnC623/</p>
<p>How did you prepare for REMS? My sister wants to enroll in the REMS program. DO U or R requires applicants to do scientific researches or any kind of researches??</p>
<p>I don't live near any major universities, so research options weren't exactly next-door. However, it is still possible to do research and I regret not doing so. try the NIH, which may be difficult to get into. in any case, research is definitely not necessary. Many people don't do research, but it is impressive. However, more and more people are doing it, so it's not as impressive as it used to be.
I did a lot of volunteer work at the hospital various labs (radiology, pathology, phlebotomy) observing and doing hands-on work. I've jobshadowed numerous doctors. I've volunteered at Harborside Healthcare, a nursing home/outpatient center -- that was some nice patient contact.
I also got a 790 on SAT Bio, and my essay was very good.</p>
<p>You have to show a committment to medicine, but also do other things that are nonmedicine related. Just show them you are an intelligent individual and you have explored medicine to a reasonable extent for a high school student.</p>
<p>and realize it is not binding. Being in REMS doesn't mean you haev to go to med school if you change your mind. I've been 100% for a while in the past, but I can say that, right now, I'm not 100% on medicine.</p>
<p>I'm also wondering how REMS affects scholarships. I know that at Case Western, if you get into the PPSP med program, they generally won't give you full tuition no matter what, hoping that PPSP itself will make you enroll.</p>
<p>how many of you are going with parents vs alone? I'm going alone</p>
<p>i guess no one at the weekend is on CC. that's kinda unusual
oh well, facebook works</p>
