So… You want to be a doctor
That’s great! It’s never to early to start preparing for medical school. There are lots of things you can do before you get to the university to help you be successful once you get here.
– If you are in high school take the hard classes…..really! It will help you be prepared for college level courses. AP, IB, and CLEP courses may count toward your major at OSU and medical school admissions.
– Job shadow, volunteer, do community service, be involved
