Medical School recommendations

[AKA_Monet]

Many medical schools look favorably on summer research interships and programs. If you have received scholarships in the past for biomedical research, then the persons that accepted you in their program will be able to write letters of recommendations.

If you have never had a scholarship of this sort, you had better blow the top off the MCAT, or at least connect with the national medical school program ASCAVM (sp?). The administrators there can help you enter.

NO ONE WHO APPLIES ALONE CAN ENTER MEDICAL SCHOOL!!! All applicants have some level of help from somebody. Medical schools just do not gather random people off the street. They want to make sure if you are accepted into their program, you will successfully finish the program... It makes them look good. That is just the nature of the beast.

And they interview...

I would say you ought to connect with folks from your current university and start asking them millions of questions...

I work at the University of Washington, School of Medicine, Department of Comparative Medicine.
