Can I get hospital volunteer hours virtually?
I want to be an ophthalmologist in the future, and I am currently a high school sophomore (10th grade).

Is it better to go to a more prestigious, but more expensive, school for undergrad before medical school or to go to a state school for less money?
I'm a high school junior looking to apply to schools like Vanderbilt and Cornell, but also James Madison and Ohio University. All are excellent schools, however Vanderbilt and Cornell are generally known as more academically challenging and prestigious than others. I am looking to apply to medical school after earning my bachelor's degree, and was curious as to how much influence this had on me getting into the best medical schools. Is it better for me to spend more money and get the "higher level" degree, allowing me to network with the students and faculty there, or is it better to save some money and earn my degree at a cheaper school? Thanks! #college #doctor #pre-med #college-admissions #medical-school #counselor
