About AMSA

Welcome to the New York University chapter of the American Medical Students Association. Please note that this site is primarily intended for pre-medical students at New York University and not all information may apply to students at other colleges.

Although this website contains many useful resources for you, we highly recommend that you join our Listserv if you want to stay in the loop. All AMSA and general pre-health health related communications are handled through this system.

Admissions Criteria - Googled?The National Association of Colleges and Employers recently released results of a poll done on their employer members who "Googled" prospective employees or checked their profiles on social networking sites (Facebook, MySpace). Now since they're poll was restricted to employer members, my question to you is this: Do premeds have to look forward to being "Googled" as apart of the medical school admissions process? For any of you involved with admissions committees, is this a process used or plan to be used to screen those on-the-border candidates? People (including AMSA) have been making the push to try to get away from solely looking at MCAT and GPA in admissions criteria, so if those other things come into play, would that open the gate for admissions committees to use any and all information they can find?
What about for residencies or jobs after medical schools?
