What advice do you have for new pre-health students?
Stay true to yourself and don’t give up on extracurriculars that bring you joy. Pursuing interests outside of the pre-health sphere not only keeps you grounded during difficult classes but also makes you a more well-rounded person and medical school candidate.In what ways did Brandeis support your path to medical school?
Brandeis Pre-Health advising is extremely accessible and prepares students for every step of the medical school application timeline. During my time at Brandeis, I found many opportunities through the Brandeis pre-health newsletters and was able to easily schedule advising appointments to make sure I was on track.What have been your involvements during your time at Brandeis?
