It sounds very interesting. I just applied, but would love to hear more from any of you.

Sorry for the delay. We're in the middle of finals and I haven't logged in a couple days.

Here's the site; it's off of the admissions page within medical education:

I came across it about ten days ago, as I was researching potential linkage options.

You guys are crazy! Why is this necessary? What happened to just working hard in your classes, writing a good essay and gettin a few people to write nice things about you in letters? God, even sacrificing your (meager) vacation is the norm?

Anyone decide to attend this? I will be going, sounds like a great hands on opportunity. Anything at this stage of my post-bac to keep my motivation up and have the big picture in sight!
