| Summary of project | The Assistant Director of Admissions gave a 20-minute overview of the medical school admissions process followed by a panel of students with varying experiences applying to medical school. The panel was meant to give the undergrads a bit of direction and some inside advice from those of us that have gone through the process. |

| Lessons/suggestions | Make sure to ask for RSVP's. Many of the undergrads said that they really wanted something like this, but when the time came only a few people showed up. Those students who did show up loved it and got a huge amount out of it. Next time we definitely need to advertise a bit more and maybe have it at a more neutral location (rather than the medical school, with which the undergrads are unfamiliar). |
