Secondly,
for those who could not show up, I know we had a lot of stuff going on
around campus and for keeping that in mind, I'm going to briefly mention
what we talked about at the meeting last night. Our guest speaker last
night was Dr. Steve Case who is the Dean of Admission at the University
of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). He gave a power point presentation
about the interview process and the "pearls and pittfalls" or in
another words, the "do's and don'ts." He gave some pretty legit tips
about what to do at an interview, how to dress up, how to be a good
listener, a good communicator, and so forth.
Dr. Case also mentioned about the Early Decision
Program (EDP) and the Regular Decision Program (RDP) just for UMMC. Some
students even talked to him one-on-one about individual questions they
had about applications, UMMC, and the interview process.
And the most important part of the email...we have
scheduled trips to some medical schools (William Carey and UMMC) and in
order for YOU to attend these, we ask that you come to the stadium
cleanups. I know this might be a little annoying at first cleaning the
stadium and all..but trust me, I did this last year and it was
absolutely awesome. Work hard, play hard right?
Attending these med school trips gives you a good
idea of what that school will be like, whether that school really is for
you, or whether you might be interested and have not thought anything
about it! I went last year and you get to talk to First and Second year
med students and they give you an insight about life as a med student.
