The Nontraditional Student Site of the Day for Jan. 27, 2015: The Mike Grasso Nontraditional Medical Student Site

Are you a Nontraditional Medical Student, or thinking about becoming one?

I like this site. It features links to Motivation, Planning, Requirements, the MCAT, about applying (Where to Apply, The Waiting Game, and Second Chance), and also talks about Mike's personal journey, how to best determine if Medical School is right for you, and has links to useful books and links.

Here is the link: Nontraditional Medical Student.

From the site: "The purpose of this web site is to discuss how to get into medical school as an older, nontraditional student. I became interested in this subject when I went through the application process myself at age 37. During that time, I read several books on this subject. However, I found little information that addressed in detail the unique challenges of applying to medical school later in life."

It's definitely worth a look at this site if Medical School is a field you are interested in exploring. It has won several awards, too, which are on the first page.

Also from the site: Courage is daring to take that first step, or different path. It is the decision to place your dreams above your fears. - Source Unknown

The Nontraditional Student Site of the day for Jan. 25, 2015: ANTSHE!

Readers here and also people in some Nontraditional Student groups know about ANTSHE.

ANTSHE is the premier group for college students going back to school after a break. The initials stand for the Association for Nontraditional Students in Higher Education.

Group and individual memberships are available. Some schools offer this as part of being a nontraditional student there. (I like this!) Ask your school if a membership is offered, or if they would like to sponsor your group to attend.

ANTSHE has a yearly conference again this year. Dates are March 27th - 29th, at the National Conference Center in Leesburg, Virginia. See their Conference Page to learn more about it.

Presenters will include: (from the site)

Dr. Belle Wheelan, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges

Dr. Helen C. Miller, Hofstra University

Retired NFL Superbowl Champion Barrett Brooks

Mary Beth Lakin, and

Dr. Mary Ellen Dallman, Associate Professor of Early Childhood Education and Director, USG Adult Learning Consortium

And the schedule posted is:

•Guest Speakers
•A Taste of Loudoun County
•Book Signings
•Poster Sessions
•Academic/Professional Presentations
by leading professionals in their field
•Prizes, Raffle & Silent Auction

•Present Scholarships

It sounds great. They also have an after-hours concert.

The Nontraditional Student Site of the Day for Jan. 22 2015: The Planning and Preparing for College Blog.

The Planning and Preparing for College Blog: by C. Herd

From the blog description: "To prepare students and their parents for college success in areas of academic readiness, community service, internships, summer programs, etc. The blog is to be used as a preparation infrastructure on various areas of college topics."

This blog is a great information blog for many different scholarships. It features scholarships for minority groups, but it is fabulous information for anyone.

Many Tennessee schools are featured here, and also other schools from across the country.

I like it. It also has special postings on subjects like College Prep Timeline, How to Prepare for College Correctly, and Preparing for the ACT/SAT Exam.

(See the right side of the blog...)

There are also links here that are test links, College Prep updates, Financial Aid, Summer Programs, Grants, Minority Links, and Internships.

Definitely, this site belongs on your blog list under "Great blogs for Nontrads."
