Union College Leadership Of Medicine ****

<p>darealfoo, when was your interview?</p>

<p>it was on Feb. 29</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>SAT: 2100
ACT: 33 (35 english, 35 math, 31 science, 31 reading)
Rank: 20/320</p>

<p>This program was really a stretch for me, but I think my essay, teacher recs, and awesome interview really did it for me...</p>

<p>btw thnx supersam</p>

<p>chachacooks, honestly, don't worry about it...i thought the interview was really easy; i had two interviewers, one a professor of microbiology and another an 80? year old man...simple questions on your essay, academics, extra curriculars, etc. I had two different bioethics questions, one on Euthanasia and another on abortion...i actually spent a lot of my first interview talking about problems in Darfur, Sudan...lol, so just give it your best shot!</p>

<p>I got into Union/Albany (yay for MBA!!!), but I'm still waiting for PennState (first choice) and Northwestern (second choice)</p>

<p>Interview was good. The Albany one was hard, cuz the guy started asking me questions about medical genetics (which I only knew a little about). The one at Union was a lot more relaxed and then interviewer and I had a good talk about Bush and his crap. All in all, I thought it went OK.</p>

<p>ok well thats good to hear if the interview wasn't that hard. I guess I just stress myself out, especially cause I have to fly out of florida to go to the interview and it's a really busy week for me.</p>

<p>I think this program is a long shot for me too. I guess I just have a lot of connections that have gotten me this far. Both parents used to work at AMC and family friends of a biology teacher at union...</p>

<p>I flew out of CA to get to all my interviews. plus, you're a second semester senior. forget HS man, you have better prospects ahead ;)</p>

<p>Good luck to you!! (even if it is a long shot =P)</p>
