Thoughts from a Future Doc...

"During my freshman year, I didn't know how to launch my pre-med career. Now, I have offers from IVY LEAGUE med schools, Mayo, and Minnesota. I didn't just get into medical school, I received a full scholarship offer... THREE TIMES!" 

How does Minnesota's Future Doctors work?
