So..should I graduate early?

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>As of now, I have about 50 credits, and I'm a freshman. Not counting my credits this spring semester. (I took a LOT of college/AP courses during high school). Technically, in my school, in 4 more credits, I'll be considered a junior. I need about 124, I think, to graduate. I'm working on getting all my pre-req's down. But some people say that I should just stick it out for the full 4 years and take a more relaxed course load - rather than taking classes every summer and winter. </p>

<p>Would med schools look at me any differently if I graduated a year before I was supposed to? I would really like to do it, because of course, it's a year that I wouldn't have to go to school. I think I can manage to get good grades throughout (I currently have a 3.85 GPA). </p>

<p>Help me out, please?</p>

<p>Stay in school. Build your research, med and non-med volunteering, and shadowing. Assuming you are a traditional student, younger is not better. You don’t get any points for graduating early. It does not impress anybody to graduate early , and in most instances, it distracts from your med school app, i.e. 2 years _____ is better than 1. Take a normal load for 4 years.</p>
