August 30th I believe. Good luck on the anesthesiology route! My friend wants to do that. Keep in mind that if you want to go to medical school, there's lots of different routes. You just need the pre-med requirements and good grades. My friend's a psychology major who's doing the pre-meds to either be an anesthesiologist or to go to PA school. Another friend is doing mechanical engineering and also doing the pre-meds to go to medical school. So there's lots of routes. Don't feel pressured into doing a certain program or being a biology major to get into med school, you just need an insanely good GPA (which I'm pretty much out of the running for, considering my C's my first semester as a freshman). So study hard and knock that freshman year out! Because it usually is the hardest and requires the most focus and determination. I have no doubt Rice will be a great place for you, though.
