Is there an advantage to direct admit programs?



Many students focus their future on going into the medical field, but do they know what it takes to prepare? Cyndy led a discussion with admissions expert Luisa Rabe. She dispels myths and gives tips about planning, preparing and getting accepted into both undergraduate and graduate programs. Is there an advantage to applying and being accepted to direct admit programs (such as nursing, PA, BS/MD)? Is a research university a better choice than a liberal arts college?  Is Biology the preferred pre-medical major?  The answers to these and other questions may surprise you.
