<p>I have been looking at some of the other threads and I am wondering if anyone applied or has heard of Cornell's early entrance program. Do you think it would be worth applying to both RHP and Cornell? Or too exhausting?</p>
<p>Did RHP or Cornell mail you info. to recruit you for these programs? It is not too exhausting to apply to two programs.</p>
<p>No, I have been looking into these on my own. I started looking after I realized that my senior year options for math were rather dull, and that it would be easier to just apply and go to college already rather than be bored for a year and then apply...</p>
<p>Does your high school have internships available? Since you are interested in medicine, I suggest you speak to your guidance counselor and find out if there are any half day internships. Also, maybe you can take some community college classes? Is that possible? Find out all of your options in your school.</p>
<p>mdcissp. I'm going to Columbia. I wished I could've afforded UChicago or Caltech. =/ But such is life I guess.</p>
<p>To aerableparable: Congratulations on so many outstanding acceptances. Many would envy your position.</p>
<p>to mdcissp: My high school, while quite excellent, is very small, and thus has limited opportunities (i.e. no internships). Do you know of any organizations that offer this type of opportunity</p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about NAASE and UIowa and how it compares to RHP?</p>
<p>My friend applied to that and got accepted, but she opted to stay for her senior year this year and she's off to MIT instead and really glad she did. From what I heard, the NAASE is a great program for people who are really focused on Engineering, because the Midwest is very strong in that department. However, she felt that a lot of the job opportunities after college were limited to just the Midwest, not either coast, where she wanted to go. It seems like you have the stats to go somewhere great next year, so it wouldn't hurt to apply, but I'd tell you to consider it very carefully.</p>
<p>Thanks so much ppenguin. Always insightful and full of good advice! As I am from the Midwest, I think I will apply. It also helps that Iowa is much closer than California. :)</p>
<p>My son was not interested in college in the Midwest because he felt the job opportunities in his area of interested are greater in California. I realize it is far off and some students change their minds about area of study, but if you think you would eventually like to end up in California, then aim for USC. Also, look closely at the wonderful academic opportunities at USC and see if you think there is a fit for you there.</p>
