<p>jonguz, thanks for filling me in. yes, you have had a nice opportunity to do something very professional that most US doctors would only get to do in their med-internship / residency. Your stats are good, and your chances are even better once you can explain what you’ve done. </p>
<p>I’d suggest you don’t sound too boastful about these opportunities because it could annoy the adcoms, like call it a Symposium, but explain what it really was so they don’t think you’re trying to say things just to impress.</p>
<p>PS: just said good-bye to my son’s GF, a freshman at Stanford. She also got accepted to Yale EA, Princeton, and Columbia.</p>
