for

High School Students

at

Edward Hospital

Naperville, IL

If you are interested in applying, please read the information below and download an application by clicking the yellow icon at the bottom of this page.  The application is in adobe format. The deadline for us to receive your application is October 24,2009.  It is to your advantage to apply early.

 

Participation in the Mini Medical School for High School Students Program starts with an application process that is designed to imitate a real medical school.  Our application consists of identifying data, an essay, a list of your science and math courses, a counselor form, a teacher recommendation form, a consent form and a program fee of $150.  There is no application fee.  If you are not accepted into the program, your check will not be cashed. After the applications are reviewed,  selected students are asked to come in for a personal interview.  After all interviews are completed, a smaller group of students are invited to attend the program. All students are notified by the end of November. As with real medical schools, the selection of students is a difficult imperfect process. 

 

Due to the nature of this program, high school freshman are not allowed to apply.  Otherwise, there is no minimum GPA or course requirements.  However, the ideal student for our program is a high school junior who has completed 2 or more years of honors/advanced classes in math or science and has a GPA of 3.6 or more on a 4.0 non weighted scale (if your school has a different grading system, we will adjust your GPA). 

 

Students who apply that are not accepted to the winter program will be considered without reapplication for the Summer Mini Medical Experience program by simply checking a box on their application.
