Think Like a Pre-Med

The situation is becoming slightly desperate for the AMP students. Of the original 20, one was accepted off a waitlist in August, one left the program in December because he was accepted at a school that was unaware of this program, and ~6 of those left have been accepted at some med school. Over half of us have not gotten an acceptance, and a good number haven't even been invited to interview anywhere.

Only two of us have been invited to interview at NYMC, they'll be interviewed in late April. There is some concern that NYMC might not interview all of the AMP students, or that the class will be full before we get the chance.

The program directors have told us not to worry, that NYMC can extend its interview season as long as it wants. Despite their assurances, everyone's a little on edge.



There's one more week of classes, a week to study, and then a week of finals before spring break. It's best not to ask my classmates what they plan to do during vacation. They become confused, forgetting what life was like before biochem.
