Hello Everyone!

Here are some of the things we covered in AMSA tonight! In case you couldn't make it to Dr. Case's "Pathway to Medical School" presentation, you can check it out anytime via this link: https://webmail.msstate.edu/util/go.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsom.umc.edu%2Fadmissions.html&Horde=d3a7ef2390206d1d46667dcd97d09e38 and then click on "Pathway to Medical School" under the "Admissions" heading.*

Other Important News* We are offering a *practice MCAT* THIS SATURDAY *at 8:00 AM in the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Building (for those of you who don'tknow, it is between Dorman and the McCarthy Gym). There are only 10 computers there, so please bring a laptop if you are able to. You will also need to bring your debit or credit card, which will be charged $35. AMSA will refund you this amount with a check *immediately* at the testing site.

*AMSA t-shirts *are being offered this year! A link to the proof is located on the right of the blog so that you can see what they look like. We are offering them for only $12! Please e-mail Stefanie Vamenta at sv114@msstate.edu to let her know if you are interested and what size you would need. We are trying to get these ordered quickly, so let her know ASAP!

If you want to sell any of your MCAT study materials still, please let Brooke Harris know by e-mailing her at bh396@msstate.edu.

Hope that y'all are having a good week, and please e-mail us if you have any questions!

Minutes from 10/22/09 AMSA Meeting

Hi y'all!

Minutes are being sent out just now because....

Upcoming Medical School Visits: We have decided that instead of attempting to squeeze another medical school trip into this semester, we will be going on *three * next semester. If you want to go on any of these, you MUST attend a stadium clean-up before the end of the semester. We have two left--this upcoming Sunday (after the Alabama game) and the Sunday after the Ole Miss game. Both clean-ups will begin at 6am. (Remember: one stadium clean-up equals one medschool visit)

Congrats to our new chapter development officer, Sam Sullivan!

Next Meeting: November 19th! See you at 7pm in the Taylor Auditorium of McCool Hall...

Don't forget about making some money off those old MCAT materials. Contact Brooke Harris at bh396@msstate.edu if you are interested.

Registration for the January offerings of the MCAT is open. Visit www.aamc.org/mcat
