For specific majors/professions being able to secure direct entry into a program is game changing, especially for highly selective programs. Not all of these programs are the same and require research. In today’s episode, we are going to discuss these programs and which ones may be worth applying to.

 

Law, Med, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Nursing

For many majors/professions, securing DIRECT ENTRY is KEY. Especially for programs that are highly selective such as PT, OT, Nursing, and a few others. 

How guaranteed is that spot? Is it benchmark based? Does it require an interview? How does merit/cost work? Is it different for the undergraduate portion vs graduate portion? Are you able to apply to other schools? AVOID DEBT– for many of these professions, there’s no boost in salary for ‘better ranked’ schools. For some programs, such as Law or Business/MBA, where you go MIGHT matter A LOT– the average starting salary for some law/business schools is a fraction of what it is for the T14 or M6 schools. It might be worth the “investment” to go to a higher ranked school– not that it means that you’ll get a better education necessarily, but that there might be a ROI.
