It just isn’t possible to convey how excited I am to be on Baylor Med’s admissions committee beginning next year. As many of you know, this school was the only medical school I wanted to attend since early grade school, and now I have the privilege of being able to interview applicants who (hopefully) share a similar passion for the institution.
BCM’s interview day is incredibly special. How many second year students (MS2) even have the opportunity to interview medical applicants at other schools? I’m sure you can think of a few, but for the most part, it’s a relatively short list.
I opted out of interviewing for a PRN (peer-resource-network) student mentor position because I think my enthusiasm for BCM and knowledge about Houston will be far more advantageous to the admissions committee. I also plan to spearhead a surgical coop with Methodist Hospital with several of my classmates starting in the fall, so I should be able to sufficiently balance my time between the adcom and coop without much added stress. 🙂
Next year is looking to be great!
congrats on completing your first year as a med student; and it sounds like year two is going to be great for you also!
i’ve enjoyed reading your posts throughout the year…just wondering if you were considering writing an entry that summarizes your overall experience as an MS1?
Hey Stella! I’ve been in the process of writing a “summary” post, but I still have roughly a month of school before I’m out for the summer. Stay tuned. 🙂
