In this installment of our Pre-Med series, we are delighted to have on Dr. Abbigail Tissot, Assistant Dean of Admissions at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Pulling back the curtain on the inside works of an admissions committee, we provide insight as to how an admissions committee is structured, as well as how to avoid looking like a “typical” candidate throughout all steps of the application cycle. We hope you find this helpful!
