If you're considering a career in medicine, it’s never too early to start learning from those who’ve been through the process. In this live Q&A, you’ll hear directly from two accomplished med students who turned their college dreams into reality—and who want to help you do the same.

Meet our speakers:
Katie Chiou, a rising senior in Brown’s prestigious Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME), and Mattia Mahmoud, a current MD/PhD candidate in the Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Pennsylvania and a Harvard alum. Together, they’ll share their experiences applying to competitive colleges, navigating pre-med life, and preparing for medical school.

During this session, you’ll learn:
– What BS/MD and pre-med admissions committees are really looking for
– How to stand out in your college applications and interviews
– What classes, activities, and summer programs can set you apart
– How to balance ambition and wellness on the path to med school
– What it’s actually like to be in a program like PLME or MD/PhD

Bring your questions—this event is all about giving you the answers and advice you won’t find on a college website.

Who should attend: High school students considering medicine, BS/MD applicants, pre-med hopefuls, and their families.
