Hmm... I wonder what happens in the US with respect to College Education.
I mean the Military has Doctors and Lawyers and Engineers...
There are Military Colleges... West Point...But I thought there were Military people actually in ordinary or regular Colleges as well... But perhaps that was keeping the cohort age-appropriate...
People apply to Medical School later, though... I remember seeing a case on the news of this 40 year old Avocado Farmer or something like that who made money growing avocado's and who sold the farm and got into Med in Ohio or somewhere and then matched to Plastics somewhere in California (much to the obvious jealousy and disgust of other people in his cohort of graduating studnets)...
But that's diversity of age of graduate entrants to Medicine... I don't know his story on meeting the pre-medical requirements...
I remember reading something about Harvard offering Organic Chemistry Pre-Medical Requirement as a Summer School option... Some adult student writing abuot doing that... So, again...
I guess I apply and we will see.
I guess we will see how many applicants there are, this year.
THey normally get 1,500 or something for the 8 year programme.
Really? That's what NZ normally gets for Medicine, I think..
Seriously...
The Ivy League Institutions in the USA only get around the same number of applicants as NZ Universities do?
I guess people don't apply to the Ivy League without the GPA and test scores that they are advised to have to apply with...
So... This year...
I wonder how many applicants they will have from around the world...
I wonder...
Blip...
Closer and closer...
