. The first time was in Chicago and the second time was in Indiana. It was a GREAT Conference. I know DC is going to be so LIVE! They need to have one in Miami . It's so much fun and there are a lot of opportunities to network 
Anyone attending the SNMA Conference next year? It's going to be in DC
I was there this year in Louisville...it was cool...I was kind of in an awkward inbetween phase in that I went with a MAPS group, but I'm a grad student. So I was the age of a lot of the med students, but I was going to mostly pre-med sessions and wasn't really well-informed with the social opportunities for the older people there. I still gained a lot though and had a good time. Next year I plan on being there and if I have (somehow) multiple acceptances I'm going to base my decision on where to go off of how cool the SNMA chapters are from those schools
But for real...the pre-med fair was really helpful and I met a bunch of med students who were willing to help me with my app and were really supportive and lent a lot of good advice
and I couldn't just tell my job that I am going to travel 16 hours across the Pacific or Atlantic to go to a conference. By the time I get there, I have to come back on the plane. I was heavily involve in MAPS at my college and with SNMA before my departure. I am planning on becoming more involve when I return back to the states mid-July . I also want to get more involve with AMSA, too. My Spelman sister is the new President for SNMA . . . I, mean, I am from Brooklyn and stuff, but still . 
The med students are super helpful, but I am going to another recruitment fair where all of the ADCOMS and Diversity people will be in attendance
I've been to DC and nothing is really there, but dilapidated houses
I'm just joking
I know there's plenty there haha
What conference is this!?!? Hook me up! And what's good Brooklyn ;-) finally someone who can understand me as a Puerto Rican
.
LOL! I am Jamaican, but yes they do have a lot of bodegas over here
I love my BK!
(ignoring all of the shootings that happen of course)
Aight! Caribbean represent (I'm part DR too). You go to the West Indian Carnival in BK this year? I've never been...I've only been to the PR Day Parade...I've heard the West Indian one gets liiiiive
. Yep! Love it here but hoping to get out for a little after med school. You too?
Honestly, I am not even over exaggerating but I hate going to Labor Day parade. The last time I went I was in a middle of a cross fire. I was about 9 years old and never went again since then. I am not trying to loose my life over the non-sense. It's not too far from my house. It's right near Eastern Parkway!
I always wanted to go to the PR parade. Korea does not celebrate Cinco De Mayo, Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day
But I did celebrate Children's Day
I've heard it's wild yo. I can understand not wanting to lose your life over that, but as a man I've heard some of the costumes the women wear are ridiculous and may be worth losing my life over
You should totally go to the PR Day Parade sometime...it's a blast and unlike a lot of the other ethnic parades during the summer, everybody shows up from all backgrounds...last time I was there, there were more non-PRs than PRs lol
. .Definitely. Out of state tuition was not appealing and I was lucky to get in to the schools here.
They have a PR parade in NC? I mean you might as well hit up Magic's City in ATL for all of that! Ughh, some of the women don't have the physiques to wear those costumes,
I love Spanish food. I love almost every country I visited food
That is the truth! Who knows...maybe some scholarship money too when they want you bad enough.
Welcome to the thread MissB
Just dropping in to say hey! I love that this forum is getting some action again

I've been there twice
I would call it a little country...there are a few other choice descriptors that I will leave out. I can't really talk though. I'm from a small town too so it probably wont be that bad. But I'm sure you would find it interesting to say the least.
What happened? What school WL you? I hope you get in

When is it?? I'm trying to find it on the internet but I'm brain dead from finals and I can't function properly lol
That would be so awesome if a bunch of us are going we could actually all meet!!!!
Best of luck!
Sounds good! I submitted August 1 and felt like I was super late but still had a great interview season considering my GPA. Having a well written PS is the biggest favor you can do yourself at this point. And killer MCAT score
