hey andrew! i will go ahead and try to answer the questions for you...

your classes are sufficient for admission, as you technically don't need ANY college to get in to the 6 year programs. however, it is a great idea to have some decent chem and bio in your past. it will help a lot.

i think you are right for the most part. the people that don't do well here tend to be a bit on the lazy or unmotivated side. you really need to be on the ball from day one to get the most out of your education.

charles is a HUGE university, with many, many different faculties. anything that a student would want to study is offered here. in general, the university is very well respected worldwide. the dorms are ok. typical dorms. i would say that you should get your own place after spending a few months (maybe 1 semster) in the dorms. i dont have any pics, sorry. the test is about 90 questions, should take about 2 hours or so. not too tough, basic physics, chem and bio.

we are approved in cali now. you can do up to 12 weeks of clinicals plus more in the summer. that is really dependent on you, and you have to organize them yourself. i am doing that now, and i have more options than i can reasonably do, and the most i paid was a $200 application fee. most were free, no fees at all.

the personal statement is basically an opportunity for you to tell the school who you are. there are some interviews, but to be honest they don't always interview. if your application looks good, and you pass the exam and have a strong personal statement, they will likely admit you without the interview.

hopefully this helps. i dont think many other charles students cruise this board. but there are a few on SDN, so you may get some other answers there.

see ya later!
