The excitement of a new school year is in the air. Throughout my admissions career, there was always one day that I looked forward to—the first day of school. This day is the reward for your hard work during the year recruiting and enrolling new families when you see them on your campus.

Thinking about a career in medicine? I highly recommend trying out some medical experiences in high school before committing to a pre-med track. Many of my high school friends who hoped to go into medicine ended up changing their major during college when the pre-med courses got too difficult. Doing a medical internship, summer program, or community service project in high school can help you decide if medicine is the right track for you before you waste time and money going pre-med in college.
