It is also wise to consider how quickly you plan to complete prerequisites. While many students enter Smith planning to enter a health profession school directly after graduation, there is no competitive advantage to applying on this timeline. Health profession schools do not discriminate against applicants who matriculate one or more years after graduating from college, and most Smith students choose this path.
A slightly longer timeline allows students to complete courses over four years or more , and it frees up time to explore the many opportunities available at a liberal arts college. Above all, use good judgement and ask for help if you start to struggle. You can talk with your class professors, LAA, members of the Board of Prehealth Advisers, classmates, your class dean, or find tutoring at the Jacobson or Spinelli Centers.
Students hoping to pursue a career in a health field must complete prerequisite courses that are determined by individual health profession programs. These courses help build a strong foundation in the basic sciences. Click open the tabs below to learn more about prerequisites for specific professions.
Please speak with a prehealth adviser about your individual plan of study. You can also see a list of approved health-related courses at the Five Colleges. No health profession school requires all of these courses, nor do prerequisite courses have to be selected from this list exclusively. This is simply a list of the Smith courses most commonly chosen for fulfilling prehealth requirements.
In addition, some dental schools require psychology; many recommend it. A small number require biochemistry. Dental schools will want to know that you can do fine motor work. If you do not already regularly participate in a related activity i. Some programs in optometry may also require one or more of the following: human anatomy and physiology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, and psychology.
There is a great deal of variety among nursing schools when it comes to prerequisite course work. Students interested in nursing are strongly encouraged to review the common requirements listed here and to view the websites of individual programs for more specific requirements. Meet with a prehealth adviser for help with planning your program of study. The AACP provides a chart of prerequisite courses for all pharmacy schools.
Some schools may accept or require a semester of organic chemistry in place of the second semester of general chemistry. Other possible requirements include biochemistry, genetics, ethics, medical terminology not offered at Smith , additional psychology courses, sociology. Mathematics is not required, although Calculus I is a prerequisite for Smith's general physics courses. Prerequisite courses for schools of public health vary considerably.
Specific requirements will in part depend on the type of program to which you are applying. In all cases you will be expected to have a solid background in the basic life sciences and statistics. Social science and even undergraduate-level public health courses can also be useful. Students interested in pursuing a degree in public health can explore schools and prerequisites by searching the SOPHAS database of programs. You may also find it valuable to meet with a prehealth adviser to plan your course of study.
This will depend in part on the profession you hope to enter and on your chosen major at Smith. Additionally, some health profession schools do specify courses such as microbiology, genetics or cell biology. If you have a favorite school, familiarize yourself with their requirements before making a final decision. If the requirement you need to complete is one or two semesters of biology without any further specification, you may take any biology courses numbered and higher in the Smith College course catalog.
Pay careful attention to lab requirements for your chosen health profession, and complete the requisite number of biology labs along with your courses. Statistics MTH or is the most commonly required math course among all health professions. However, calculus MTH is also required for many schools of human medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary medicine. In Smith's two-year chemistry sequence the first and fourth semesters make up general or inorganic chemistry, and organic chemistry is taken in semesters two and three.
If you are interested in a profession that requires all four semesters of chemistry as prerequisite courses, it is to your advantage to take them in sequence. Therefore, although you may not stick to the plan you make right now, it is still useful to think—in general terms—of your four-year timetable and how you will fit in the four semesters of chemistry. For those who need general chemistry only, it is acceptable to take CHM and CHM without taking the two semesters of organic chemistry.
International students face unique challenges when applying for health profession schools in the United States.
First, most health profession schools, as competitive as they are for U. Some do not accept international students at all. Every year Smith has international alumnae who enter U. Additionally, finances can be difficult. The second method is faster for bulk smelting. When smelting just a few ores, it can be faster to choose the 'Smelt 5' or 'Smelt 10' options, as bars will be smelted until the player runs out of ore. With level 43 Magic , players can smelt bars using the Superheat Item spell.
Doing so grants the same amount of Smithing experience as smelting using a furnace, and has a few advantages:. A failed smelting attempt results in the loss of the iron ore. Smithing is the process by which players craft a metal item out of one or more metal bars. Smithing is always done at an anvil.
When a player uses a metal bar on an anvil, a dialog is shown in which the player selects which item to forge. The player can either click the item to smith one such item, or may right-click on the item and select a higher quantity of items to smith. For players attempting to raise their Smithing level, it is recommended that players first have a large number of bars in their bank , thus allowing fast experience as only trips between a bank and an anvil are needed.
Different Smithing levels are required to make different items. For the required levels for all items, see Smithing table. Below is a table with information about Smithing and what players can create. It is important to note that black armour and weapons cannot be smithed. If you are wondering about how to find experience , take experience for 1 bar and multiply it by the number of bars you're using. For example, a bronze platebody is Works for all types, from bronze to runite.
If a player's Magic level is 55 and their smithing level is 48, then they can make a great amount of money, but only if they mine the ores themselves. Using the High Level Alchemy spell also known as "high alching" , a player can make a great profit. When a player high alchs a steel platebody , they receive 1, coins. So if a player has steel platebodies, and they have enough runes to high alch them, then they've just made , coins.
The only con is that high alching can be slow and boring, and the player has to have enough runes to cast the spell. High alchemy is probably your best option. But if you don't care about magic experience and if the relative price of nature runes is too high for you for the items you want to get rid off , you could decide to sell your items.
It is not recommended to sell your items to most general stores —since they usually buy at low alchemy value— but there are however a few good stores you can use. There are some other general stores that buy at high alch value, such as the general store run by Martin Thwait in the Rogue's den Martin Thwait's Lost and Found , the West Ardougne General Store , and the Bandit duty free in the Bandit camp in the Wilderness although this one is NOT recommended due to its dangerous location.
Keep in mind that the buy price at general stores decreases rapidly the more items it has in stock, so it's recommended to hop around frequently if you decide to sell your items. Generally, the best things to use high-alchemy on are either swords or platebodies - these items yield the most coins per bar the exception is rune. There is a full High Level Alchemy table below. At level 40 Smithing with level 6 Crafting and a necklace mould , gold necklace can be made at the same furnace in which gold ore is smelted into gold bars.
Grum's Gold Exchange in Port Sarim buys a gold necklace for coins if his stock is zero; the price decreases 9 coins for each gold necklace in stock, dropping to 45 coins at a stock of 30 or more.
