Hello CC!
Does anyone have ANY experience with high school students doing virtual shadowing either during the pandemic or after? There seem to be several options/websites and I was wondering if any of you had some good experiences with one of the virtual shadowing programs that you could share? Thanks so much in advance for your responses!

My D got into Caltech & Johns Hopkins. Apart from financial aid any pros and cons are highly appreciated to make a decision as studied abroad. She is interested in Neuroscience (premed).
Thanks

So far kid accepted into:
a) UCM (Human Biology)
b) UCR (Biology)
c) Cal Poly SLO (Nutrition)
Waiting to hear back from UCSC (Bio)
All satisfy (for the most part) the pre-med requirements.
Any material feedback on which is the better fit for pre-med. Here “fit” means the ususal things:
a) Maintain 3.5 GPA
b) Volunteer opportunities
c) Research opportunities
d) Strong LOR from Professors

We are just hearing back from UCs. So far 2/2 (Merced and Riverside). Hope to hear back from the rest by Month end.
Is there any insight into which UC a hard working but balanced student would best prepare them for Med School.
By prepare I mean all aspects: maintain high GPA, internship and research opportunities, LOR from Professors the usual stuff.
A secondary question is. Kid is interested in Medicine not biology but enrolled in Bio focused programs for all UCs. Do any bio programs at UC require less credits to enable them to take other classes?
Thanks.

I am a high school senior. I am looking for input regarding neuroscience program and pre-med opportunities at Virginia Tech. How difficult is it to get any volunteer/shadowing opportunities and how is Virginia Tech in general for students want to pursue medicine?
