Hello everyone! It's the application/interview time again! I'm currently a D3 at UIC and one of the UIC ASDA pre-dental co-chairs. Please feel free to ask any questions. I will do my best to help.
If you'd like to keep in touch with our pre-dental committee, feel free to like our fb page or shoot us a message.
Good luck to you all and hope to see some of you at UIC!
