dual credit HS Student

Hi, im new to this forum and have been very scared about admissions into med school. I am 16 and am a junior in high school, but i have enrolled in a program where i finish junior and senior year all at a community college. So i graduate with a hs diploma and an associates degree in science in 2 years. So I w as thinking i would most likely become a doctor when im 24 due to the 2 years i save but im not exactly sure what i would do after i graduate from my community college since i would have already gotten an associates degree.

don't. Do everything you can to get into a US school to which you should also enroll into a regular university and take the MCAT along the way as well.

Right i plan on attending a university right after i graduate, but i also have been informed about programs like JAMP or something were they help you maintain and guide you through everything and it ensures a seat in med school. Something along those lines. I maybe wrong but was wondering how that would work since i would already have basics done going into a 4 year university. i plan on doing everything i can to get into us med school.

this is for people who dont get into med school in the us. you want to try studentdoctor.net. good luck.

if u do end up going to the community college you will want to take bio1 and chem1 your freshmen and at latest sophomore year. if your schedule will not permit you to take those classes I wouldnt do it.

Next, the joint college high school thing is not looked on well by medical schools in the US. Lastly, the island schools that would take you - you really don't want to go to. Don't be in a rush - find out and do the correct things to get in to a top 50 US medical school. As post above this forum is for people who did not take the time to find out the correct things to do or they are changing professions (like me)!
