<p>During the summer of 2006 I attended:
National Youth Leadership on Medicine, Summer Program in Boston, Massachusetts
We talked with the Surgeon General of the United States, Richard Carmona on Leadership in the Field of Medicine. We attended MED Sessions where we talked about Public Health and specialties in Medicine. We participated in a public health symposium and workshops on current medical issues. We were visited by professors and doctors from other universities and hospitals who talked to us more about what their jobs are and gave us advices. Furthermore, I attended a seminar in University of New England on the Osteopathic Medicine. I had the opportunity to practice this kind of medicine where I practiced primary care medicine using only hands. Also, I had the greatest opportunity to act as a shadow for a Cardiologist and later witness a neurosurgery. </p>
<p>Recs: I can get some pretty outstanding recomendations, in the 1 semester I've been at my school, all my teachers pretty much love me. Awesome relationship with my counselor, too.</p>
<p>I really do want to get into Harvard but I think/know that it's a very high reach for me and also with the low acceptance rate, it seems almost impossible. If you guys could help me and advice me and show me some direction, i would really appreciate it..</p>
