What should I consider when choosing a university for a biology major?
I am a senior in high school living in Virginia, and I aspire to become a doctor. After living in Canada for 8 years, I have continued my education in Virginia since the 10th grade. I have decided to pursue a degree in biology in college. Based on the research I have done and the people I have spoken with, many suggest that due to the very high costs of medical schools, it is a wise choice to select a university with the lowest possible budget for pre-med. They believe that attending a nearby university with low costs for a biology degree, combined with a good GPA and a high MCAT score, would be sufficient to get into a top medical school. I would like to hear your opinions on this matter as well. I am about to start applying to colleges, and I have nearly completed my college list. My college list includes the University of Virginia (my priority), JMU, William & Mary, Virginia Tech, Virginia Commonwealth University, George Mason University, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, University of Florida, Georgetown University, Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Washington Seattle. If you have any other school recommendations, I am open to considering them. Thank you in advance for your response.
Those who work in healthcare: what does your typical day look like?
Tell me about your schedule day to day. Examples: - Where do you work? - How do you take care of patients? - What are some tasks that you do outside of taking care of patients? I am considering becoming a doctor, but I don't know if I would enjoy it. If you could include your speciality, that would be great. Thank you!

Where should I start with job shadowing as a pre-med student?
Hi! I am going to be attending college in Phoenix this fall as a freshman. I'm a pre-med student majoring in Biology. I know it's a little early, but I know job shadowing is a very important part of the pre-med process, both for applying to medical school and for being certain that medicine is the right career path. Any tips on how to clinical shadow would be incredibly helpful as I am not sure where to begin. Can I contact hospitals in the area? Do I need to ask physicians directly or will hospitals connect me with physicians who are open to being shadowed? Thank you and I appreciate any answers and information!
