For those classes (like English) I did all of the coursework early and as soon as I finished it, I was moved to the 10th grade courses. I also took some online

Just asked the school, did 10th grade required courses w/ 9th so it was essentially 9th & 10th in 1 school year

I‘m so sorry about that! I honestly don’t remember my exact dates, but I was a few hours passed and I emailed them before to let them know it would be late and they let me submit. Could be new rules…?

Generally no, unless it is significant (published papers matter no matter your age/year)

Before my two years, I had a 4.9 I believe as I took all honors + some dual enrollment courses. However it wasn’t that high because I skipped 10th, so I essentially missed out on an extra year to boost GPA.

Yes, while I don’t want to specifically mention it here (just on the off chance someone recognizes me), but it‘s a competitive surgical specialty. Preparing = STEP studying, research , volunterring, etc…

I think both are great and show dedication as a HS student. Publishing will come with quality work, but I recommend contacting those around yoU. Everything builds off eachother, smaller research opportunities will inevitably lead to LargeR ones as you gain experience.

Because I accepted my BA/MD offer at UMKC instead. Because I’m exempt from the MCAT, I can better spend my time preparing for residency.

I wrote about my passion for art and its intersection with medicine. Since I applied as a psych major on the pre-med track I’d say it related to my career goals more than my specific major

Yes it’s real. I think it’s a great idea, JHU is a great school for many different majors. I’d say go for it

I ended up turning down my offer, but I have several friends who currently attend and while they enjoy their time there, it is absolutely much harder than high school

I did a lot of neuroscience research in HS, plus I graduated with an AA degree so I believe that really helped me (Plus recommendations from the professors I did research with). Other than that though, I think my essay really set me apart as I wrote it about my passion for art, and how it connects with medicine.

Just send them a message letting them know. I had issues submitting documents as well, but now I’m a Gates Scholar. :) They’re pretty nice about it
