Next Thursday, November 10, the Premed Advising Office will sponsor a 
New Applicants Workshop, 4:30-5:30 p.m. in Richards Hall, 304.  No sign 
up is required; just show up.  This workshop is aimed at orienting 
students who plan to apply to medical school, dental school, podiatric 
school or optometry school during the upcoming application cycle 
(summer 2006 to enter 2007).  Topics to be covered include: how to 
assess if this is the best time for you to apply and the strength of 
your application; what are professional schools looking for in 
applicants; how to go about selecting which schools to apply to; 
services available to you (for free!) to help in this process; when to 
sign up to take admissions exams (MCAT, DAT, OAT); and anticipated 
changes to the MCAT for 2007.  We will also be providing handouts with 
websites to help you in your searches for information on schools and 
other related materials, including a timeline with deadlines you need 
to be aware of.  If you have any questions, please call Nancy Blass, 
325-2457, email: [log in to unmask]; or drop by the Premedical Professions 
Advising Office, RH 209.
