I swear that is Chancellor Davenport posing with him in that pic, if so isn't that a violation (blue font)?

Meet the high school junior with 33 college offers — including all 8 Ivies

Come June, one lucky school will get some good news.

Jahmir Smith, a 17-year-old whose Twitter bio reads "humble," will pick from more than 30 colleges, including all eight Ivy League schools.

Though the Sanford, North Carolina, teen hasn't made his decision yet (as a junior, he doesn't have to commit until signing day in January), he'll likely let someone know in June.

"I know what I'm looking for. I want to go to a school that'll have me set up for life first other than just football," he told NBC News. "I want to go to a school that'll help me be a doctor first, and I want to maybe play in the NFL."

If academics are his priority, he's in luck: His choices are pretty stellar.

Though he has enough credits to graduate this year — and a 4.43 GPA (yes, you read that right) — Smith will finish out his last football season with his team in December.

The offers started coming in December, but it was his first Ivy League letter, from Princeton University, that started a frenzy in his family.

There are lots of majors that prepare a student for med school. I don't know if there is such thing as a "pre-med" major. I never heard of anyone graduation with a BS in pre-med (or in pre-law for that matter).

Yeah you don't major in pre anything. You either take biology or something similar to prepare you for med school. I'm sure they have pre med paths to take though

We don't have a strictly Pre-med program, but most of our pre-med students major in Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology (BCMB) or Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB). Some major in Chemical or Biomedical Engineering.

Psychology is becoming a popular major for pre med students. Easier to maintain thar 3.8 or higher gpa

Not if they have a lot of community service and volunteer hours. Which is more available to a psychology major because it's a less time consuming major (not saying it's not but it is less than biochemistry or biomedical). Heck I even know of an art major who got into medical school because she had all the right prerequisite classes and volunteer hours

Any college has pre-med. It is a core of classes. Never a major nor a degree. Your degree can be in anything as long as you have the core curriculum.

Tennessee has 4 med schools.
Usually you get prefential treatment in your home state and the state that you attend college in.

Choice of college or med school only matters if you plan on doing research and being part of med school faculty.
Matters not at all in private practice.
I get paid the exact same as a Harvard/Yale/Johns Hopkins/Duke or Stanford doctor. Medicare and insurance companies do not give higher pay for "elite" med schools. As a matter of fact, I initially got paid more because my med school debt load was significantly less.

Case in point: the Valedictorian of my hs class went to Harvard undergrad and Johns Hopkins med school. He had a debt of 500k.
I went to Tennessee and Ross University med school. My debt was $125K. I repaid my debt way, way before he did. Medicare pays us exactly the same, so my "common" education is essentially a better investment throughout our 20+ years of practice.

Sorry for the rant/bragfest.


Sorta :)

Very true, but many med schools want a variety of education. Engineers make good researchers, but may not have good bedside manners.

I know phyicians that have undergrad degrees in English, History, Psychology, even one that majored in Japanese.

The thing that I actually talked about the most in my med school interviews was my degree in Mixology from the International Bartending Institute. My resume looked kinda slim, so since it was a degree, I put it in there. The interviewers talk so much about your school and sciences, it gets repetitive.
