I was just wondering what you guys do for a living and how you got there?

I’m currently doing my bachelors in nuclear medicine and hoping to head of to med school when I’m done... Currently I am working in at a hospital doing registration and placement of patients. So let’s hear it...

Elliot, as the original anti-dentite...i believe you remember that i'm in the middle of dental school...

what med schools are you looking at? sounds like with an impressive degree like your program of study, combined with hospital experience and whatever else you do to fill your time...you'd do pretty well with admissions.

Dam bro, it’s been a WHILE... How you been? Better yet where you been? The reason why I picked up the NMT degree is just something to fall back, since tech's start about lower-mid 50's. The thing about Med school is that, it scares me silly. My first year went better then I expected (Weighted 3.6/Unweighted 3.4) which is still pretty ****y... Therefore, for now I'm just concentrating on getting my B.S. and trying to advance at my job. As far as EC goes I volunteer time doing Bed and Board duties and Reading/Playing with Mentally Challenged kids. Oh and this spring I’m buying a new car so when I your on the east cost I can kick your ass in some basketball..

haha...i've been well man. i've been in AZ all summer long working an internship that consumes most of my time and energy...add in weekly assignments, a few research papers, etc to go with it and i've lost most of my time...but i head back to Boston August 4th.

Sounds like you have a hell of a resume too. The GPA is average (as was mine - i graduated with 3.32) but you've got all this other stuff that would make your med school application stand out. Keep up that stuff and kill the MCATs and you'll get in where you want.

Whenever you drag your ass near Boston...i'll be happy to deflate your dreams of gradeur on the basketball court

as my friend says, i'm the nicest white boy on the court
