Hey guys, I came across the Houston Methodist High School Internship and was thinking about applying. Has anyone here participated in this program? What was your experience like, and did it help you with your college applications?
Hi there! I haven't personally participated in the Houston Methodist High School Internship, but I've heard from others who have. From what they've shared, it's a valuable and hands-on experience where you can gain insights into the healthcare field and develop your skills and knowledge.
Participants have mentioned that they got to shadow professionals, attend educational lectures, and participate in research projects. This type of exposure can be beneficial for students seeking to pursue pre-med or other healthcare-related majors in college. Additionally, you can build connections with mentors and gain valuable references for your future career.
Regarding college applications, having a relevant and meaningful internship on your application can boost your candidacy, showcasing your dedication and passion to the healthcare field. It falls into the Tier 2 or Tier 3 of extracurriculars, depending on your participation level and achievements.
