Boston University School Of Law Puns

Not sure which day I got the A , but just checked the status checker for the time in a week or so and got in!

Stats in flair, just wanted to share as a data point :)

I've noticed a lot of conflicting advice when it comes to law school admissions, especially things like addenda, who should/shouldn't submit a diversity statement, etc.

So I've been thinking about interviewing the former law school admission dean at BU Law and posting it online. Would folks here be interested?

If so, happy to take your questions for her.

Edit: I've now posted the interview online here: https://youtu.be/qRfV9CvVPmE

** Thank you everyone for writing in – this has been a wonderful conversation! I will try to come back and address any questions that I did not get to today, but I have to log off for now. In the meantime, for more on my public health perspectives follow me on Twitter at @sandrogalea or take a look at sandrogalea.org

I have been named an “epidemiology innovator” by Time and one of the “World's Most Influential Scientific Minds” by Thomson Reuters. After serving as a field physician for Doctors Without Borders where I witnessed case after case of preventable diseases and injuries first-hand, I realized our national understanding of what constitutes "being well" is wrong. Currently, we focus on the lifestyles we adopt to stay healthy, and the insurance plans and medicine we rely on when we're not. While all these things are important, they have not proven to be the difference between being healthy and unhealthy. I am here to discuss what we should really think about when we discuss health and wellness on an individual, national and global scale.

Ask me anything about:

• What is wellness?
• How should we think about wellness in our own lives and in our communities?
• What is the United States getting wrong about health, wellness, and healthcare? What could the government be doing differently? What could individuals do differently?
• Why people in the U.S., despite spending more on health than any other country, remain less healthy and live shorter lives than people in other rich nations.
• How current events such as gun law reform, immigration, environmental deregulation, the implications of tax reform, welfare and entitlement programs, intersect and impact health. How U.S. history, wealth, politics, and power contributes to today’s healthcare crisis.

I have held academic positions at Columbia University, University of Michigan, and the New York Academy of Medicine. I am an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine, and chair of the board of the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health. Previously, I was president of the Society for Epidemiologic Research (SER) and of the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science (IAPHS). I also discuss how health is tied to current conversations in Fortune Magazine.

Just got the call today. Missed this one like all of the others 🤦🏽‍♀️ My third T-20 acceptance as an extreme reverse splitter ❤️

Hey aggies,

im a rising senior from houston. I am in the top 6%, and have auto to UT, but dont think my 1470 will cut it for bioe. Even if it does, I love the TAMU campus, and would wanna come if it won't hurt me too much in the long run.

Everyone here worships Rice and UT, and they act like Rice is Harvard and UT is the best public in the world. UT is great, and I get it has an international rep and everything. I think I'm set on medical school, how strong is TAMU?

Is TAMU's name mostly regional? Usually public flagships comparable to UT (madison, seattle, uiuc, unc) are worshipped in their respective states or areas. TAMU doesn't even have that as UT is worshipped here, atleast where I live. Will that hold me back?

I heard the 4 schools I mentioned and UT are pretty well known in the bay area due to them all having super duper strong CS programs. Does the same apply for TAMU?
