Thread for BSMD 2020-2021 Applicants (Part 1)

@mom2boys1999 Stay safe and healthy. You are right, it is not advisable to wait until the last days to submit the application. You never know what will hit you. Even though I say that, my D is also struggling with deadlines and sometimes things get dragged to last days.

Generally heard good stuff about Pitt, not being too tough on GPA and good opportunities.

I can’t list all the private schools supposedly good for premed. But can suggest which ones to avoid, that is if the lure or prestige of their brand names is not too over powering.

MIT, Princeton, U Chicago, Cornell, Wash U and JHU. Not saying one cannot succeed there, but will probably involve lot more struggle than necessary and more sorry stories than success ones coming out from such schools.

Just a reminder how important it is to keep on track-
The storm hit our beach last night and dumped about 5 inches of water in our home and garage. One of our cars is probably done for.

We are all fine and safe, just booked a hotel and am enjoying the power and air conditioning. But even happier kid had submitted all his apps so we aren’t scrambling with those to make the deadline!!! Insurance will handle everything material but I don’t think they would submit his college stuff for us haha

You truly never know what can and will happen. So make good choices with that planning! <3

@mom2boys1999 - So sorry to hear that you were impacted due to the storm. Glad that you are safe & kid submitted his applications by deadline !

[mom2boys1999]
