Summary of Application Experience
I'm a film student (screenwriting), and you don't get any further from medicine than that, so anyone worrying about your major having an adverse effect on your admission, shouldn't. I had a good chunk of volunteer activites but absolutley none of it was done in the healthcare field.
I have a good knowledge of the healthcare field, both private and academic, having worked in a private orthopaedic surgery practice for two years, having grown up with a physician for a parent, and having done my share of shadowing.
I had almost no research experience.
To any other Texas applicants, there's talk that 'the match' might not come back next year, but if it does -- NONE OF THE DATES MEAN ANYTHING ON THE TMDSAS SITE!
