Miscellaneous
In this episode we're visiting with the Dean of Admissions from the Douglas & Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. She’s really candid and provides some helpful advice in addition to talking about all things Zucker. Additionally, we talk a little bit about the AAMC's new VITA interview when discussing their admissions process. CORRECTION 8/4/2020: For the entering class of 2020, the Zucker School of Medicine had 95 MD students and 4 MD/PhD students. Not 99 MD students and 4 MD/PhD students as was stated in the intro.
