Description
POSt decisions can feel like they’ll make or break your med school chances, but most of the “premed program” advice floating around is misinformation. In this session, we will break down what actually matters when choosing your POSt, including open vs. limited enrollment programs, GPA realities across programs, and whether certain programs “look better” on med school applications. We’ll also cover common myths and questions we hear every year from first-years, then wrap up with an informal mingle/coffee-chat style Q&A where you can ask upper-years about their programs and experiences.
