What's up all,

I thought I would set up some links in my spare time. These links hopefully provide you guys with some useful information and assistance.

• http://www.aamc.org/students/amcas/
• https://aacomas.aacom.org/
• http://www.studentdoctor.net/
• http://www.studentdoc.com/

This is also a GPA calculator set up by one of the fine pre-med students on SDN, it'll calculate both your science and cumulative GPA along with credits and give a break down for each semester, the guy or girl who created this did a great job, and it's a little easier to use then the one on Weber's website. All you have to know to use this is your grades, credits, and whether it was a science class or not.

This is a school selection spread sheet by another person from SDN, it gives average GPA, MCAT score, whether the school likes in state students more than out of state and it kind of lets you gage where you fall according to the schools average, now I'm not saying if you are outside of these averages you shouldn't apply to this school, remember these are just averages some people are higher and some are lower so don't let these numbers scare you this is just another reference for you to utilize if it helps great, if not then stop looking at it. The link will take you to a "what are my chances" thread on SDN don't worry about it just scroll down to the highlighted "school_selector_0910" and click to download it.

I should mention though that these are just MD schools and I think one or two in Puerto Rico are included too for some reason, but no DO schools are included.

Hopefully these are useful.

First Post

Hey guys and gals,

This is my first post on behalf of the club. First of all I would like to state the purpose of this blog, it's main, sole, and only purpose is to help Weber State University pre-medical students, if you don't fall into this category no worries read if you like, but I'll pretty much be addressing issues that pertain to weekly club activities, advice for new students, and maybe other issues that the club, Barb, or myself find relevant.

Things I would like to do for the club and to help you guys:

• Have a schedule of upcoming events for the club to keep you guys informed


• Summarize the week's meeting so if you miss a week you don't have to feel left out


• Have an advice section for students, it's most likely going to be mine, but I will be happy to post any that you guys have for other students


• Other ideas coming soon

Post dates are going to be random, meaning that I myself am a pre-med student and taking the MCAT in the spring, so please don't expect a regular post cause it's not going to happen. I also can not guarantee the longevity of this blog, if anyone else is willing to help write an article or anything or just help me out for a week it would be a huge help. I will also try to set up some links to websites that are helpful for pre-med students such as studentdoctor and amcas in case you can't find it just point and click and it will be all good.

I've also just returned from New Zealand, I spent a month there doing volunteer work and touring the country with ISV, yes the same ISV that sends crazy fast talking people with funny accents into your classes to talk, so to give fair warning I'm going to be repping for them like crazy, because it was amazing experience and I'll post pics so you guys can view the awesomeness and if anyone is interested in getting involved with something like this I'll be happy to talk with you about it.

I hope you find this blog useful and if you have any suggestions, comments, or questions feel free to post.
