When deciding what college to attend as a pre-med student, one of the issues you want to consider is the quality of pre-med advising at a particular college. Most colleges have some type of pre-med advising for their students. The intent of this advising is to make sure the student is doing what they need to do to be a competitive candidate when applying for medical school.

I returned a couple of weeks ago from the IECA National Conference. I attended some great break-out sessions. One session was with admissions officers from the University of Rochester, University of Delaware, and Ohio Wesleyan. They were discussing how they make admissions decisions when they do not have a test score, i.e., in the land of test optional.

You spent ages crafting your personal statement, deciding your topic, the story you want to tell, and what you want college admissions officers to know about you. Then, you go to apply to the colleges on your list and discover… there are more essays to write! What?! You panic. How am I supposed to write an additional essay (or sometimes more) for every college I’m applying to?

Modern medical schools are looking for students with various backgrounds and experiences. This diversity in medical school admissions is a big issue for several reasons. The first reason is that medical schools like to see diversity in the students they are admitting. While diversity includes such issues as race and ethnicity, it is viewed in a much broader context by medical schools.

The Thoughtful College Search

JUNE 1, 2022

The last ECA post commented on some issues arising out of the brief filed with the United States Supreme Court on May 2 by Students For Fair Admissions (SFFA) in its case alleging discrimination against Asian-American applicants to Harvard and UNC-Chapel Hill. There was one other issue from that brief that I intended to address, but inadvertently left out when I put the finishing touches on the post, trying to keep it from turning into a tome.
