[Biology-U-L] HPA Meeting: Med App Advising Apr 18th 6pm North Hall 1105

[Biology Undergraduate List]

This week for our HPA member meeting we will be hosting Cindy Lewis
PhD, a longtime health advisor for medical, dental, and other
healthcare professions. The meeting is on Wednesday April 18th at 6pm
in North Hall 1105 and she will be presenting the first in a three
part series on the current application cycle. Tonight is the self
assessment portion where she will be discussing the application and
how to differentiate yourself from the thousands of other applicants.
The website is listed below and I strongly encourage everyone who is
thinking about applying to any sort of professional school to attend
this informational meeting. And of course there will be the
complementary pizza to keep everyone well fed. Hope to see you there!
