Sneak Preview!

Well, the comment on my last entry could not have come at a better time…as my time winds down here at Cornell (so cryptic) I think it’s about time to start going back down memory lane, and particularly back down the path that has brought me to where I’ll be disappearing to come this summer. (NYC for my MD/PhD!)

Deciding to go for an MD/PhD was an intense, grueling process that I often neglected to write about. Not because I wanted to leave you in the dark, but simply because I couldn’t handle any more stress than I was already experiencing -and writing about it while I was going through it would have brought it to another level of reality. Now that I’m accepted, relaxed and excited I think it’s about time to give you a little insight on what this entailed for me at Cornell and particularly how Cornell helped me get where I am. (Too corny? Sorry! Can’t help it!)

So, we are about to embark on (an as of yet undetermined part #) Mini-Series on going after an MD/PhD. From my first year at Cornell to my final letter of intent to matriculate, I hope this will help any of you out there contemplating such a path, particularly such a path at Cornell. (I hope this doesn’t narrow down my audience to n=4…but even if it does, that’s OK. There is not enough information on this out there!)

Stay tuned!
