This is an excellent opportunity for students who are serious about a career
in medicine.  It is for students from disadvantaged backgrounds
(educationally, economically, historically underrepresented in medicine).
Many of you will qualify but you must get everything done quickly!  

 

Follow the instructions carefully and make sure you have all of the courses
they require (even if you are repeating some of these courses).  The
application is not difficult but there is a personal statement that must be
written.  If you need help, please let me know; I will help you with the
essays. 

 

Order your transcripts as soon as you get this message if you are
interested. I have made arrangements to give them unofficial transcripts
since I know we cannot get official copies by the 18th.  I would love to see
at least three or four students able to commit to the program for the nine
months that are required.  

 

THEY are offering a FREE MCAT review as part of the program.  PLEASE!  Take
advantage of this opportunity!  I will of course write the advisor letter
but you will need a letter from a faculty member as well.  If you have
something in your file already we can adapt it to letterhead.  DO NOT
DELAY!!!!!
