How to choose an alumnus?

<p>I’m applying to CAS, but I think it would be very interesting to talk to a school of medicine alumnus, seeing as how I’m going into the medicine field. </p>

<p>So… CAS alumnus or med alumnus?</p>

<p>You may want to try to find a CAS alumnus who majored in some type of science (and eventually attended med school). My D did this last year when she was choosing her interview (she was looking for someone in advertising/PR)…In addition, she thought it would be advantageous if she chose someone heavily involved with Vandy alumni activities (which you can find on their alumni website), rather than someone who happened to be doing interviews but didn’t have current contact with the school…worked for her; she was admitted RD (but is attending a different school)…Good luck!</p>
