Dr. Lina Mehta, Associate Dean for Admissions at CWRU School of Medicine, joins me for a very important conversation to walk through the process of the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School tool.  This is a very important part of the admissions process whereby accepted students have to indicate their decision as to where they intend to attend medical school.

This episode finally gets us to a medical school out West, in particular, the Pacific Northwest with Dr. Leila Harrison, the Interim Senior Associate Dean for Student Affairs, Admissions, and Recruitment.  She has an extensive background in admissions and education which really comes through in our conversation.  WSU Elson S. Floyd is a relatively new medical school (2015) which is exciting to hear how they have created a unique mission-based and community-based medical school as the second allopathic medical school in the State of Washington.  We conclude our conversation discussing how Holistic Review works in Admissions.
