Building a competitive pre-med profile takes more than good grades. Get a Stanford researcher's inside look at how to shape your extracurriculars - from research and clinical experience to volunteering and beyond - into an application that stands out.
The strongest pre-med applicants don't just check boxes — they build a profile that tells a cohesive story about who they are and where they are headed. Join Adonis Rubio, Stanford Biology graduate and current Stanford Immunology PhD student, for a practical look at how to develop the extracurricular profile that matters most in pre-med college admissions. Drawing on his own journey from pre-med undergraduate to researcher at institutions including the Pasteur Institute, Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, and Genentech, Adonis will walk you through how to find and make the most of research opportunities, clinical experience, volunteering, and other activities — and how to weave those experiences together into a profile that resonates with admissions officers. Whether you are just starting to build your extracurriculars or looking to strengthen what you already have, this webinar will give you a clear sense of what to prioritize and why.
