Organizing Your Scholarship Applications with Google Sheets
Once you sign up for sites like FastWeb or Scholarships.com you will need to stay organized with all the applications and deadlines.
An easy way to do this is to create a free Google Spreadsheet to keep a neat list of all the applications you are going to apply to over the next few years. You can create another list for all the college programs you are thinking of applying to, their requirements, and deadlines. Keep yourself on track!
Below is a tutorial on how to get started with Google Spreadsheets after you make a Google account (if you don't already have one!).

More on DNA!
Take a look at this very helpful video from the Khan Academy to hear more about the structure and function of DNA. Their videos are great for visual learners! Understanding DNA well will be very important for the rest of high school, college, and medical school.

The Future You :)
Take a look at this past year's graduating class of Black and Latino Penn Medical students!
With hard work and by staying focused, this can be your future :)
Medicine Needs Black and Latino Physicians
Why medicine needs you!
¾ of physicians are white, while 3.3 percent are black, 5.3 percent are Hispanic, and 17.2 percent are Asian or other races.
12% of Americans are black and 13% Hispanic, meaning the number of doctors of color are greatly underrepresented!
We must start early to train our future black and brown doctors (that means you!)

Welcome to the SMP Med Blog!
We will use this blog throughout the summer to post additional information related to the material encountered during the day. To work on writing skills, we will also have you guys do about four blog posts of your own where you can reflect on any aspect of the program, or another interesting science/medicine related topic! After the 4-week session is over, we won’t leave you guys hanging! We will continue to post helpful information to help you guys through high school, and allow you guys to keep in touch through this page!
Get ready for an awesome summer : )
Adrienne, Manga, and Shelley!
