Wish I could be there, Dave... wish I could be there. Maybe next year when I'm in med school in the east.

Wow! This conference sounds phenomenal! As for me, I am very very new to the pre-med game. Matter of fact, I am still "in the closet" so to speak...not sure if I not ready to admit to others or to myself that this is the path I want to take so badly I can taste it.

Of course, since no one in my life really knows...although I think my wife suspects...it'd be damned hard for me to attend this conference without "coming out". 😀 I may just have to come clean with the family & plan a little mini-vacation to DC...learn some for myself & have some quality family time.

Who else is considering coming?

Yup, I do recall getting your registration. You are on the "signed up" list.

I wanted to assure everyone that since our exhibitors sessions were such a huge hit last year that we will be repeating it. On both Friday & Saturday, noon to 2pm, the atrium of the mezzinine - right outside of the conference meeting space - we will have representatives from UGrad & post-bacc programs, med school & individual vendors for your perusal.

The list thus far? Glad you asked!

Medical Schools
George Washington
Georgetown
VCOM
KCOM
WVSOM
PCOM
Ohio State

UGrad / Post-Bacc
Georgetown Special MS
Georgetown Post-Bacc

Vendors
NowLoan$
Princeton Review
Kaplan

And we continue to work to bring in more...there are several more that are still tentative.

I hope to see you all there! And, if you are attending, be sure to come up & introduce yourself to me - be sure to remind me of your SDN &/or OPM screename!

Our room block for the conference is over half-filled & going quickly. Once the room block is used up OR we cross the deadline - 9 May 2006 - the hotel will no longer guarantee the low rate of $119/night. So, if you are planning to go, you might want to make your reservations sooner versus later.
