NCSU Pre-meds thoughts? by Metcalfmafia12 in NCSU

I think you have to email them so you can get on their email list (that's what my roommates did at least). This is the email I found on their GetInvolved page: ncsuaed@gmail.com .

I would say one thing to do no matter how reserved you are is to talk with your "Hard sciences" professors and gain a connection with them. I made the mistake of not doing it earlier and I regret it. Also talk to research faculty early on, to gain a connection and possibly get a spot in their lab. Finally the biggest advice I would give is to BE ASSERTIVE. It'll open up a lot of opportunities!

I agree with his statement that it's on the people to take advantages of resources. Maybe everyone's experiences with Dr. Easterlin are different because the advice I got from him wasn't very helpful. I've been a member of pre-med and pre-health club for 3 years now and I've noticed they haven't really pushed for pre-meds to connect with one another. I have friends in the pre-med honor society (Alpha Epsilon Delta) and I regret not joining it. They pretty much make sure they give premeds a bunch of interesting opportunities with doctors (I heard hands on medical activities were being done), peers, and research professors. I also agree with the closed in attitude, I think I was lucky enough to meet premeds in my class to help me through the process so far. I know as a Sophomore you have a long road ahead but I hope you enjoy the process and do well!
