Hello,
I am a first-time applicant who is applying this June. My pre-med advisor suggested that since I'm only applying to the Chicago schools, I make appointments with the adcoms before I apply--like in April or May--and introduce myself, because she said that having a face to match with an application before the whole process starts can only be a positive in my favor.
However, if this was the case I'd think all applicants would be doing this.
Has anyone tried this--chatting with an adcom and asking them, "what do you look for in a competitive applicant" before applying for the first time? I know it's common for people who are rejected to ask the adcoms why they were rejected.
Thanks,
Tofurkey
