Health Symposium aids career searc
By Jackie Vratil
The Battalion
In the MSC Flagroom Tuesday, students in
terested in a health profession investigated pro
fessional school options.
The seventh annual Health Symposium, put
together by the Executive Council of Health Or
ganizations, brought in schools ranging from
medicine to dentistry to veterinary medicine
for students.
Tracie Multer, a council member and a senior
biomedical science major, said the purpose of
the event was to help students decide if the
health profession is for them.
“This is a service for students planning on go
ing into health care,” she said. “Students also can
use this opportunity to get to know the different
schools, and the schools get to know them.”
Amanda Alford, a sophomore biology major,
said this is the first year she attended the sym
posium, and found it informative.
“I found out where the cut lines are and about
the application process,” she said. “It (the sym
posium) gave me information that I would have
otherwise never known.”
“This is a service for
students planning on
going into health care.”
there have been students who havealreadvt*
accepted and just have some questions.”
Carpenter said he wants to show student!

John O’Brian, execudiM’d
rector for the Princeton■ a t|
view, said theudmissionrM in [
Dr. Jim Wagner, the associate director for Stu
dent Affairs with UT Southwestern Medical
School, said he answered a wide range of ques
tions at the symposium.
“We take large numbers of Aggies every year,”
he said. “Last year, they
were tied for first (in num
ber accepted). That is the
reason why we come to ac
tivities like this.”
Alford said she plans on
coming back to future
years’ symposiums be
cause she viewed this year’s
as strictly informational.
“When I come back
next year or the year after, I plan on making the
decision of where I want to go to medical
school," she said.
Robert Carpenter, a student member of the
Committee of Admissions for Baylor College of
Medicine, said they come to Texas A&M two to
three times a year to speak to students.
“I have talked to all ages of students,” he said.
“There have been students who want to change
to a major within some kind of medical field and sophomores get a head start.
