Update: As the first wave of midterms have come to a close, I will be posting additional entries and resources I have gathered within the past month.
Entry: Allow me to preface this post by stating that Academic Excellence should always be your top priority as a postbac and student in general. That aside, playing a role in a student organization is an enriching experience and may enhance your professional school application. Consider these key points concerning student organizations:
Be sure to keep your goals in mind while proactively forming a mutual relationship. As a pre-dental student, I relevantly sought out pre-dental clubs/societies. Upon partaking in organization activities, I had to opportunity to network with fellow students and professionals especially. As several in one of my chosen organizations have already gone through what I intend to undergo, I can learn from their experiences. Ultimately, you get as much as you put in.
