We are so good that everyone wants Hunter students!  Below is information
regarding a summer program for minority and disadvantaged students who are
FRESHMEN (going into your sophomore year Fall 2009).  The program will take
place over the next three summers and students will receive intensive and
extensive MCAT prep at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine for FREE!!!!  You will
also receive a book stipend.  This is an IDEAL program for Hunter freshmen!
One of our greatest challenges is getting a great student, with a great GPA,
into a highly selective medical school.  Why?  Because most of our students
cannot get a really great MCAT score!  Most Hunter students speak English as
a second language and this seems to prevent students from doing well on the
Verbal section of the MCAT exam.  This program will give you the tools
needed to get MCAT scores that will make schools such as Cornell, Columbia
and NYU sit up and take notice!  

 

Please take a moment to read below.  Mr. Lucio will be here on Tuesday,
March 17th from 1-3PM in my conference room, 819 East.  Please come and ask
questions and get information as the deadline is April 1st!  Please confirm
that you will be attending as I can only accommodate 25 students in my
conference room.

Program Summary: 

The MedPrep Program is a tuition-free initiative targeting traditionally
underrepresented and underserved New York City and New Jersey resident
college freshman interested in attending medical school. MedPrep is a 3-year
summer commitment designed to give students an opportunity to develop key
skills and competencies important to success on the MCAT and in medical
school. 

*	Accepted New Jersey resident students begin the MedPrep program at
New Jersey Medical School. 
*	Accepted New York resident students begin the MedPrep program at
Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. 
*	The MedPrep Program is best suited for candidates without summer
obligations as the program is full-time. 
*	A small stipend is provided for meals and books. 
*	There is no application fee.   

The Northeast Regional Alliance (NERA) MedPrep Program is a partnership
between New Jersey Medical School, Mount Sinai School of Medicine Center for
Multicultural and Community Affairs, Columbia University College of
Physicians and Surgeons and the Manhattan Staten Island Area Health
Education Center. 

The Program uniquely builds on the collective expertise of four outstanding
institutions to expand health careers preparation for minority and
disadvantaged students from junior high school through medical school with
the goal of increasing competitiveness for medical school.  Ultimately, we
expect that our scholars will have the humanism, professionalism and
interpersonal skills required of a future physician caring for a diverse
population. 

 

If you require anything further feel free to contact me at your earliest
convenience. 

 

Best,
