Last week was a very busy week for us!
During Wednesday's AMSA meeting we put the finishing touches on our Science Saturday project. Science Saturday is October 2nd, this Saturday from 12-5PM, come help us build viruses and bacteria with the kids.
Wednesday night we had a meeting with Dr. Samuelson. He is the Dean of Admissions at U of U. He spoke about the 8 criteria that the U looks at to determine interview candidates. Applicants must be "average" in five out of the eight areas; GPA, MCAT, extracurricular, community/volunteer service, leadership, research, shadowing, and patient exposure.
Thursday night we had a meeting with Gina Moses, the assistant director of AACOMAS. She spoke about D.O. programs and had a couple recruiters from D.O. schools around the country with her.
Friday we were able to listen to a former alumni speak about pediatric neurosurgery. Jodi Smith, M.D., Ph.D. spoke about her background and her decision to be a surgeon. She then shared many wonderful case studies with us. She had some awesome videos and stories!
