We’re off to The Green Mountain State of Vermont to talk with Cary Jewkes, the Director of Admissions at the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine (UVM). While UVM is a public institution, the majority of their classes are out of state students! UVM is a very interesting school - unique curriculum, two campuses - Vermont and Connecticut, a teaching/scholarly project, among others. We discuss what they value in their applicants, of course!
