physicist

hey i just got word from UW-Madison that i am accepted for their Medical Scholars Program and that i get about $200000 worth of scholarships both for the undergrad and med school.
That means (17000*2)=34000 (get 2 BS's in 2 yrs) and for med school like $200000 then neurology $150000 and 2 yr PhD for about $40000 and ill jsut round it up to 430000....so ive paid a little under 1/2 of my entire planned education
now i dont have to try for my senior year in HS (jk, actually they check quarter grades:eek: and if you dont have a 3.9 your out)

im really happy:banana:
sorry if the bananna annoys you. think of it as a happy nerd.

btw i know my name is physicist. physics is my interest but i think i can apply it BEST to neurology as the only thing left in pure physics is unification...physics is best used nowadays applied to the health sciences (biophysicist, biomedical engineer)
for undergrad:
(double) major:biophysics, biochem
minor:computer science
im planning to finish that in 2 yrs. then take the MCAT and in the program i am automatically admitted to UW-Med School (which is what the majority of the scholarship was for) when i pass the MCAT

UW Med is a great school. They pump out some great surgeons.

Those are some huge goals....and you will find out how things change once you leave the house and go to college. Huge % of dropouts, even higher % of people who change their major.

yeah, unfortunately there's a lot of "major-changing" going on at that age. i've had 4 majors.

and all those bad stats...probably why the entrance req's for a lot of universities is...have such ACT or SAT score, such HS GPA, extracurricular shit, etc..or be 21 or older. "old" people generally do better b/c they know what they want and have the maturity to do it right...as do a lot of young people, but the percentage is much less. i was an ass when i went to school at age 17, now i'm slightly less of an ass. :p

congrats on the scholarships dude, that's awesome!

DO NOT FUCK IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's a lot harder when you have a job/wife/kid/etc. you'll be making big bucks in no time if you study and stay away from the drugs, alcohol, and evil girls. (jk about the last one)

best of luck man.

I agree with ninja....do not fuck it up. I am 27 and regret more than anything that I dropped out. I am now trying to go back with a wife now.....and it is very, very hard.

Big congrats, scholorships that nice are few and far between.

Asians are typically smart, its a stereotype. (I know some pretty damn dumb ones.) Congrats on the scholarship, will come in handy after you graduate and don't have to worry about repaying student loans.
