Did you know you can listen to BS/MD advice while you drive to work? We not only release videos on our YouTube channel, but we’ve also launched a podcast called The White Coat Club.
Ivy Degrees
Although many seniors have now committed to a college, juniors may be weighing their options for the number of “Reach” schools they add to their college lists. Ivy colleges are often in the running for the top placement in the Reach category for students. In our recent Forbes article, Does An Ivy League Degree Matter? we explore the value behind the Ivy name, from the alumni networks to the potential earning potential.
Need Summer Plans?
This spring, we are witnessing the summer research programs mirror the college admissions process more than ever before with how competitive they have become. If you are a rising sophomore or rising junior who has seen more rejections from your summer plans than you anticipated, it may be time to pivot and make sure to find a valuable way to spend your summer.
Our recent podcast episode, Last Minute Summer Plans, shares our advice for the best ways to fill your summer months, from securing local shadowing to showing leadership in your community. We also posted a recent blog post listing a few late-deadline summer programs to consider, 10 Summer Programs Still Accepting Applications.
