Description: Randy Wright, the inventor of PreMedster, discussed
how PreMedster can be used as a computer based tool to help organize and
eventually submit your medical school application materials. PreMedster is free
for use by UNM students. The service will allow you to put together all of the components
of your AMCAS application and latter on your secondary application. Your
descriptions of activities, letters of recommendation, and personal statement
can all be saved in a convenient location that you can update at your leisure.
The service allows you to keep track of exactly what length your at for your
passages and what the limits are for the AMCAS application according to each
section. You can even enter your course work and have the service calculate your
AMCAS GPA. You can compare schools as well as look at maps and other materials
from almost any medical school. You can also use the service for your secondary
applications just like the AMCAS application for each of the schools to which
your applying. For more information see the link at the bottom of the page
or watch the above video. For more infomation or to ask to set up your account
