🔍 Analyzing Target Medical Schools: A Strategic Approach for Pre-Meds I recently came across this insightful infographic from the University of Michigan Medical School, showcasing a snapshot of their admitted applicants. For all the aspiring doctors out there, such data can be invaluable in guiding your choices during your crucial pre-med years. A few takeaways: Prioritize Experience: Notice how many more hours successful applicants dedicated to working with underserved populations, compared to roles in student government. Diverse Interests Count: From social justice to performance arts and even athletics, holistic experiences seem to resonate with admissions. When time is of the essence, and the medical school journey is competitive, channeling your energy into high-impact areas can make all the difference. Make informed choices, and leverage insights like these to strategize your way into your dream school! 📚💡 #PreMedLife #MedicalSchool #StrategicPlanning #FutureDoctors

Daniel Stid writes a very thorough piece on the difficulty, messiness, and sheer necessity of the work of Braver Angels, which he understands well. (I especially appreciated that he called us "countercultural," which is both true and flattering.) This line, in particular, spoke to me: "Both those who are quick to salute or criticize Braver Angels often fail to grasp the unique and nuanced aspects of the organization’s work." It's hard to explain what we do — I often feel like it's something you have to experience for yourself. But working on the frontlines of our country's political polarization has proven to be more challenging, rewarding, and hopeful than I ever could've imagined. The work of depolarization is, as Liz Joyner says, "both mandatory and impossible." To better understand us and the work that we do, check out this write-up. 👇

Thanks for the insights @justicefunders. Acknowledging the stolen native lands we are on, is the beginning of the beginning of a processs to imagine pathways to repair and rejuvenation.
