Penn Med Doesn’t Care About Your Relationship Status

US News reports this morning on the unimportance of an appropriate online presence when applying to medical school. Although the article warns against having any incriminating information on the web, only around 10% of medical schools currently use Facebook to check their applicants’ reputations. Gaye Sheffler, director of admissions at the med school, says there just isn’t enough time to catch up on the social lives of applicants. With more than 5900 applicants in recent years, that is a lot of Facebook stalking.
So rest easy Penn Med hopefuls. There’s no need for you to detag pictures of your cRaZy MCAT study session nor delete that status about getting tattoos with your lab group.
