NOVA and SOCIAL

Wednesday's meeting for all who missed, was Dr. Whitehead from NOVA. For those who don't know NOVA is a DO school in southern Florida. Dr. Whitehead talked about admissions, housing, curriculum (as far as what you will be learning and doing while enrolled at NOVA), and lets call it the community enviroment. He brought up a very interesting point that NOVA isn't looking for let's say the most academically qualified applicant, but more of a rounded applicant. He said that he has seen his admissions committee pass over more academically qualified students for students who are more geared towards leadership and volunteer work, he said that they are not necessarily looking for the best applicant, but the applicant that fits best with their school and program.

Thank you for all who made it down to the social Thursday, and we hope you had a good time eating free food and bowling, anyone who missed or left early didn't get to see me break one of the lanes, they say it isn't a party until something gets broken right? Ah good times.

Reminder: next weeks meeting is for the Gear-up program, so if you didn't sign-up for a time get in touch with one of us if your available. Also Dr. Samuelson from the U of U is coming to talk about admissions to the U and this meeting is at 6-8pm in LL130 that Wednesday the 16th, hope to see you guys there.
