Can An Average Student Get Into Medical School?

Many potential medical students ask questions about what it takes to be accepted into a medical school. One of the most common questions is: Can I get into medical school as an average student? Can you really be admitted to a medical school with a 2.00 G.P.A.?

The admission guidelines for medical school have changed over the last few years. Most medical schools have recognized the importance of diversity in student applicants. Therefore they have put more weight on the “well-rounded” student for entrance to medical school. The days of the total emphasis on grade point average and high test scores for admission have ended. Now there is more emphasis on experience, background, personal philosophy, letter of recommendation, and the personal interview. If you do well with all of these factors your chances for admission will be much greater than just grades and test scores alone.

Avoid Losing On Stock Options Part 2

Exercise			  Sale
Basis in 100 shares of stock     -2,100
Call premium received               400
Call premium paid                  -600
100 shares deliver at $25         2,500
100 shares sold at $30            3,000
Net profit                         $800

This comparison appears to conclude that you have a better outcome by allowing exercise of the call. That is a fair conclusion only if you would be willing to give up the 100 shares; but it excludes two very important considerations. First, upon exercise you have a capital gain on the stock and a tax consequence. Second, if you keep stock you are free to write covered calls again after expiration or close of the current positions, meaning more income in the future. Exercise ends that possibility.

Sphere Life Virtual Reality Considerations For Space Colonies

In the future there will be humans living on the surface of Mars in space colonies and because the Martian surface is so hostile and is void of oxygen most likely the humans will either live in underground communities or partial aboveground space colony habitats. Some of these people may never come back to Earth during their lifetime. It is for that reason that perhaps we should consider setting up virtual reality simulators so they do not get too homesick.
