Improv for Interviews
Are you preparing for professional school interviews? When thinking about getting
asked an interview question, do you feel like a "deer in the headlights"? Would you
like a different kind of practice before your graduate school interviews? If so, we
are offering a space where you can practice flexibility and resourcefulness and demonstrate
your ability to think on your feet.
Improv for Interviews will be held on Monday, September 9th, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM in MLC 207. Please register in advance for a seat. We can only accommodate twenty students.
We will also maintain a waitlist. Register here: https://forms.gle/Z1eC48KvUhoqaBJN9.
PPAO Book Dawgs
Are you taking the MCAT in the 2025-2026 application cycle? Have you heard how challenging
the CARS section can be? Are you trying to think of tactics to improve your score?
The Preprofessional Advising Office is excited to announce our new book club, PPAO Book Dawgs, this fall to help students prepare for the CARS section. The AAMC states that "this
section is unlike the other sections of the exam because it does not require specific
content knowledge." How can you prepare and practice? One way is for exam takers to
immerse themselves in various topics from different types of literature. While this
club targets future MCAT exam takers, anyone with a prehealth intent may attend.
The first meeting is this Tuesday, September 10th, from 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM, in MLC 251. The first book we will discuss is Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis by Lisa Sanders. The book is available as an e-book or audiobook. Come out even if
you need to finish reading the book! Attendees will help pick the selection for October.
Meetings will be on the second Tuesday of every month. If you have questions, please
email Michele Johnson.
Virtual Drop-in Hours with Medical Students (MCG)
Interested in meeting and getting advice from current medical students? Medical students from the AU/UGA Medical Partnership Campus will be holding virtual
drop-ins Wednesday, September 11th from 7:00pm-8:30pm. All questions are welcome including how to build a resume, how to pursue shadowing,
how to study for the MCAT, what medical school is like, etc. (Ask the M1s about what
it was like to do an MMI style interview!!)
Take advantage of this opportunity to learn more and make connections!
