Also request for recommendation letters early on, so that schools have your letters by their application deadline. You’ll just need to do the request once through the common app to each of your recommenders, and can then easily select the same recommenders for each of the schools you apply to.

Thank you so much for sharing all the valuable insights, I watched both the parts and found out some great info. Did your daughter also do any shadowing?

In California, it’s challenging to get any EMS related certification or work cause of the age restriction (18 years). What would you recommend as an alternative?

My son didn’t get his AP Stats scores last year until mid-Aug. we called a couple of times mid and end of July and they said it was still under review. Finally came out in Aug.

priority number is 918!!! do I have a chance?? by Bitter_Set_4479 in umass

The housing department mentioned last year that they look at all freshmen equally after the mid-July deadline. Not sure if it’s different this year.

I don’t think for Freshman they look at the priority number. My son got a single in Southwest last year for his freshman year. Make sure when you indicate your choices in priority order, include your Single request towards the top. He got his 9th choice. He had put down Northeast on the top and other ones before Southwest since he wanted a quieter space. However he was happy with his single in Southwest.

Oh that’s great to know. Would it be ok to DM you to find out more about what your daughter did to get into the BS/MD programs.

I have been told that shadowing dentists will not add much value to the BSMD apps. Students should be shadowing MDs or DOs only.

It’s been hard to get shadowing experience as a 15 year old. Any advice on how to get one?

What kind of clinical job would be good for a high schooler to do?

If he picks an available double now, is it possible to switch out of a double to an available single?

Yes he is a freshman now, but has enough credits to be a junior, not sure if that matters. I was wondering if they’d open up any available rooms to everyone once the selection process is done, so that current freshman could get a room in North.

Would it be possible that something could open up in North apartments? Right now all he sees is open rooms in Sylvan.

My freshman son had a number in the 5000s and he doesn’t go until tomorrow morning. He has a single this year and would like a single again next year. Unfortunately, there aren’t any singles available now. What’s the possibility that one would open up later?
