the activities Admissions Committees Love to See

from The Short Coat: An Inside Look at Getting Into and Getting Through Medical School · host Dave Etler and the Students of the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine

Logan wrote in to comment on what we call 'box-checking,' the idea that med school admissions committees only want applicants who've done all the best activities and lots of them, and that applicants must participate in activities that "stand out" if they want any chance of getting in. Co-hosts Nick Lind, Aline Sandouk, Emma Barr, and Sally Haeberlin discuss what adcomms really want. Also, we visit Yahoo! Answers for those odd questions we love so well. Shouldn't docs carry tranquilizer guns?
