<p>That is what I was thinking. Still, I have to ask, do you trade stocks two cents? $0.02 is how the exchange writes two cents. Just wondering. I would also like to know what majors make for a good pre-med program. I have heard a lot of things and would like to hear some of what the people on college confidential consider to be an excellent pre-med path. God bless.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Tony</p>
<p>Ps. After I hear some of what people have to say I will state some of my most enjoyable aspects of school. I just want to hear what people think.</p>
<p>Thank you Blue for that post, it helped a lot. Still, Blue I have another question. At the community college, I am taking applied calculus. right now. I know it is at a community college, but my teacher has asked me to be a registered tutor of calculus at the college. There is only one other tutor and he is a teacher as well. Will this mean anything when I explain why I took calculus at a community college or will I still need to retake it at my four year institution? God bless.</p>
<p>Honestly, I can't imagine it would make a difference regardless. Some schools will flat out refuse to accept CC credit; some will accept it; but I can't imagine this pushing any schools from one end into the other. It shows that you did well at calc - in some situations, not even all that well; being an organic TA (not even a tutor!) at my undergrad school required a B- or better. It may actually be an impressive feat - I don't mean to demean it. I just mean that I'm not convinced medical schools will value it as much as you might hope.</p>
<p>I would recommend retaking calc anyway. (Plus... calc is good for you.)</p>
<p>Well, what if I were to take Stats. Taking advice from a previous post it looked as if medical schools either looked for Cal or Stats. Since I have taken a Calculus class would you recommend taking Stats at my four year institution? That way I could incorporate both.
Off topic but I was watching the discovery channel and a special on savants came on. It was about the third show in the series, and one scientist was actually having some success in creating savant tendencies in normal people. I thought this was absolutely incredible and was wondering if anyone had heard about this. Imagine a world where normal people could process numbers faster than a supercomputer, learn entire languages in a week, or any of the other fascinating aspects of savants.
Also a little of topic, I am sure some of you have heard this riddle but I would like to see who can come up with he answer first. How can you take 10 trees and put them into five rows with four in each row?
I have more so please do not answer unless you figure it out (I figured this riddle out when I was in fifth grade so do not think to hard, it took me the day =).</p>
<p>Well just trying to add a little fun to this all business post. Still, I do have some questions but enjoy this slower more personal way of questioning. Thank you all again for your help and God Bless.</p>
<p>I was thinking the same thing.
How many English classes should I look into and which ones? I think that an English class might be helpful in order that ones vocabulary might be broadened, but when it comes down to applying for medical school what do they look to see if you have taken?
I am currently volunteering at the local hospital. There is some flexibility with were in the hospital I can volunteer and was wondering where were the best place was to aquire as much "hands on" experience as possible?</p>
<p>Two cent you are right. How long did it take you? I hope you had not heard it before.</p>
<p>Here are two others.</p>
<p>What supplies life and gives a foundation. It can be broken with you hands, but is strong enough to bend steel.</p>
<p>What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?
Thank you again and God Bless,
Sincerely,
Tony</p>
<p>1.) English is actually a requirement for most medical schools. They want one year of writing-intensive English, so you're talking literature, composition, writing, or most standard English classes.</p>
<p>2.) Hands on experience in a hospital is hard to get. Content yourself with shadowing there, unless you see a strange opportunity (phlebotomy, or something).</p>
<p>3.) Collagen fibers, often produced by fibroblasts and most clearly found in dense connective tissue.</p>
<p>Other is wrong. Here is a hint. It brings life.</p>
<p>Again I am in English Comp at the community college. Basically I will be required to retake this along with retaking calculus. I find myself in a irony of situation. The increased effort of commuting to a community college for the reward of being able to retake these classes. Well I guess it is a good thing I thoroughly enjoy school. Also</p>
<p>Also, do not worry about butting in, I wish this was more of a public post than it is. Due to the title of the original post, I believe others will not discover the wealth of knowledge I have discovered here. So in simpler terms feel free to post away.</p>
<p>I Have another question but it is 12:05 at night and I am exhausted. Thank you and God bless.</p>
<p>This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.</p>
<p>Most of the opportunities involve pushing wheelchairs or carts. The most interesting jobs utilize a particular skill, perhaps fluency in a foreign language, computer skills, or the ability to discuss spiritual matters. Children's Hospitals seem to have a wider range of opportunities. With the right dog and training, you could be a certified pet therapy visitor (a guaranteed hit with all patients and staff).</p>
<p>The posts sound as if I should try to persue phlebotomy. Am I misunderstood? Correct me if I am wrong, but the main point is to volunteer and make good impressions. </p>
<p>Also, I always here it dose not make a huge difference in what area one studies in undergrad, as long a requirements are met. How true is this? Will I be better if I persure a masters in micro-biology before appling to medical school? I know a neuro surgion and that is the path he took, but told me it was really up to what I wanted to do. I would like to inquire about the positives and negatives without consideration of my own desire first. Then be able to let the Lord lead me to the one He has chosen.
God Bless.</p>
<p>Sorry if there was spelling mistakes, I forgot to check.</p>
<p>I agree with the answer of Time to your riddle blue. I have a good riddle for you both, but it will take longer than I have to write. Thank you again and God bless.</p>
<p>That is a rather helpful link to some information about being a premed there. W+M also has a relationship with Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) in Norfolk, VA… in your sophomore year, you can gain direct admission to EVMS.
Of course, you are not obliged to go there, but it’s good to know that you are accepted to 1 medical school.</p>
I think this is a very great point that is easily & wonderfully backed up by this point:
</p>

<p>To the OP: I would say for you to keep your options between W&M, UVa, & VT - just my personal selection, which you can trust is backed by thorough knowledge (but also based on my own preference in a university).</p>
