A note on anonymity

Please note: While I am a proponent of transparency, I feel quite uneasy about the idea of med school admissions officers (whom I will presumably be working with in the future...fingers crossed) Google-ing my name and gaining access to this front-row journey of my entire applications process. And believe me, they do check. CNN ran an article about the Journal of the American Medical Association's study of med school policies regarding students' online behavior. It is certainly no stretch to assume that such policies will also have ramifications on the admissions process.

Rather, I believe that remaining publicly anonymous will allow me to write more honestly and openly about this process. However, feel free to email me (destinationmedschool@gmail.com) if you are just dying to know something about my personal life that I have not published. Otherwise, I will be known as Chris (my real first name).
