Re: I wonder if you could get me a connection with a Medical School student?

Hi Gene.
A few of the 'Mad Scientists' who answer questions on this site are 
actually medical students.  You can email them and see if they are willing 
to answer your questions.  But if I were you, I wouldn't worry about 
medical school yet.  Since you are still in highschool, you should think 
about getting into an undergraduate program at the university of your 
choice.  It doesn't matter what you study as long as you get good marks.  
Once you get there, you can probably meet medical students through friends 
and ask them whatever that you want to know.
The following website is a medical student's advice for medical school 
applicants. http://www.tmc

This website is really great.  You've got to try it. http://www.medicalstudent.com/

The following websites are also good sources of information. 

 School of Medicine http://medicine.wustl.edu/admi
ssions/

Association of American Medical Colleges  http://www.aamc.org/stuapps/st

American Medical Student Association (AMSA)  http://www.amsa.org/

U.S. News Medical School Rankings   htt

And finally my own website where you can look up medical articles using 
Pubmed and see 
my creative side! http://www.geocities.com/A

Always a pleasure.
