Dean's Letter

I apologize in advance for being prideful, but I've just got to brag on myself a little bit. I received my Dean's Letter this week, which is the letter that the dean of my school sends to the residency programs to which I've applied. The letter talks about what kind of a student I've been, and what kind of a program my school has. I wanted to share with you the last paragraph of my dean's letter, because it really made me feel like a rockstar! Here's what he wrote:

"I have interacted with many students and residents in my more than 30 years of academic medicine. Allison Hanna stands out as one of the most remarkable students that I’ve had the honor to work with. While there may be students with greater GPAs and class rank, there are far fewer students who combine the intelligence, humanistic qualities, motivation, enthusiasm, sense of humor and professionalism that this young woman possesses. She is humble, has great integrity, is dependable, a good listener and cares about people. Even at this early point in her medical career she has exhibited all of the qualities necessary to become an excellent physician and healthcare provider. I urge you to consider her for your residency program. She will raise the standard for all of us to aspire to."
