One of the most common myths that I hear is that you need to start a club to be competitive for a BS/MD program. Why isn’t this true? Applying to college, and BS/MD programs in particular, is not about doing things just to look good on a college application.

“School’s Out for Summer” Alice Cooper During the nearly ten years that I have been writing Ethical College Admissions, it has generally been my plan to go on hiatus during the summer, thinking there would be no news and no readers during the summer months.
