5

<p>wheatley...your clubs and everything were just like ours so I didn't know if you went here too</p>

7

<p>Apply to Rice/Baylor! I'd love to have more LI-ers in the program with me.</p>

<p>You might want to try to do some more health/medicine related stuff in the coming year, both for your own experience and to have something to talk about in the interviews. Maybe your family doctor would let you shadow? Or take an EMT course, volunteer in a clinic, etc.</p>

<p>Are you working at Garcia this summer?</p>

8

<p>nah i was rejected haha. rice/baylor, it's too hot in texas lol.</p>

9

<p>lol, about Garcia. I did the program, and it was only so-so, so don't worry about it.</p>

<p>It's hot in the summer, but you aren't there for most of that. And the winters are quite lovely. Doesn't sunbathing in March sound nice? I'm just saying, Rice/Baylor is, in my (biased) opinion, the best combined program in the country. So think twice before you completely dismiss it!</p>
