Customer Reviews
Highly informative
This podcast is great for anybody applying to Pritzker or any other medical school for that matter. It is nice hearing the insight from those who actually review the applications and conduct interviews (ie. they are actual people, not robots!). Also, the perspective from the medical students themselves gives the podcast a balanced view of medical school admissions. The episodes about the application and interview are particularly helpful and, in my opinion, probably helped me get in!
This is something every med school applicant should listen to
This is both a thank you to people are responsible for the putting together the Pritzker podcasts, and a review of the podcasts. They are incredibly informative and engaging, and I appreciate Ben, Mary, and all of the guest's efforts in making the application process more transparent. The hosts' dispositions and personalities really carry through and speak well of the Pritzker community. I have found them so useful I have passed them on to people who I know will be applying in the future. Thanks again.
love it!
I really enjoyed the most recent episode about the upcoming curricular changes. However, I was under the impression that the entering class of 2008 would be the first to go through the curricular changes? The Podcast seemed to indicate that many changes will start with the class of 2009. So could you let me know what sorts of changes I should expect if I were to matriculate as the class of 2008? (is anatomy still going to start in August?) Thanks so much!
