In early February of the junior year, a meeting is held for all Emory students who will be applying to health profession schools in the following fall. Plan to attend this meeting, because important information will be provided concerning the application process and obtaining letters of recommendation. Most professional schools require applicants to provide evaluation letters from faculty with whom they have taken courses. These letters are very important. You should be sure to get to know some faculty members well enough that they will be willing and able to assess your strengths and motivation in relation to medical school.
Positions are available in several hospitals, research labs, counseling centers, and other settings.
Students who accept such positions should be faithful to meeting their responsibilities. Interested students should go to the Volunteer Emory office in room 412 of the DUC or call 727-6268. Volunteer Emory is a program of the United Way and the Campus Life Office. The Center is located at 1784 North Decatur Road, Suite 200. Start electing basic science prerequisite courses as an opportunity to test aptitude and interest in sciences.
