"Four-Year Plan" for Future Health Professionals
This "Four-Year Plan" offers rough guidelines to help students prepare to apply to a program in the health professions. Most students choose to spread their preparations out over more than the four years of college, choose to take advantage of the many opportunities offered by the college, and choose to fully explore the many rewarding careers and experiences available to them.
Only about 15% of students matriculate into medical school immediately after they graduate! The majority of students choose not to matriculate until 2 years or more after graduation. This is true everywhere, not just at 含羞草研究室, and in fact health professions schools appreciate more mature applicants with greater life experiences.
