    When I was accepted (a few years ago) I found that it was my personal statement that really set me apart. I had pretty much "middle of the pack" grades and extras but the thing about those who are on the acceptance committee is that they love to look...
  9. New Grad looking to move to SF area

    I am a new grad who just moved to San Jose after seven years in Hawaii. I agree with NickiLaughs that if you haven't done clinical here it is tough to compete with those who have as they cannot even get jobs. There is a facebook group called "New Gra...

  15. Cheaters.... What is our responsibility?
