yuanqi Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 anyone here go to this? How did you find it? I think this year's symposium wasn't as well advertised as the ones from previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Second Daniel Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 anyone here go to this? How did you find it? Didn't even know it existed. They should advertise it a bit more and when interviews have been sent out, that way people are more serious about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more aimed at people who will be getting interview invites. I think the pre-premed symposium is more aimed at first and second year UGs.
