Be Nice To Med Students

We had an admissions meeting this week, and I found out that med students at my school play a "significant" role in choosing who is accepted.

Quote from our Dean.. "Acceptance is based on three equal votes. One from the Ad Com, one from the Faculty, and one student vote. And depending on the faculty member, sometimes the student vote counts more"

Esentially, students at my school can influence someone's acceptance in three ways:

1. An admissions "vote" after interviewing a candidate

2. A recommendation submitted on behalf of a candidate

3. A "blackball" ......aka you are NOT getting in ....

So make sure you are extra nice to med students during your interviews.
