Medical School

This is the busy season when we enjoy visitations of Admissions Groups from several of the four year schools. To date we nave entertained visitors from P & S, Cornell, Harvard, and Pennsylvania, with Johns Hopkins scheduled for this weekend. As we have mentioned previously, a matching plan, similar to the Intern Matching Plan, is used in arranging transfers and we will soon be able to tell you whether to look for DMS students in your area.

With admissions work for the 1965 fall entering class better than 90% completed, representatives of eighteen colleges and universities are expected to matriculate in September. Of general interest is the fact that our rates of completed applications to the 48 acceptees is 15:1.

Incidentally, as we confidently predicted, the Faculty won the Faculty-Student Slalom, although some students are still making bizarre claims. The dinner and social evening were most enjoyable.
