In order to help clear some of the ambiguity in the medical school admissions process, I invited interview Dr. Goodell, Dean of Admissions at Boston University School of Medicine and former admissions committee member at Harvard University School of Medicine, onto the show. Here she provides fantastic insight into the medical school admissions process for not only BU, but with other schools nationwide. In addition to her perspective on medical school, she also outlines her unique journey through medicine and how she became the successful doctor she is via such an unconventional path. Students from across disciplines will benefit from Dr. Goodell's encouraging words and wealth of experience in academia and medicine.
