Most pre meds never get to hear directly from someone who has sat inside admissions committees and helped make final decisions. That is exactly why we wanted to share this conversation.
Jodi Cahalan is one of our Senior Advisors at Passport and a former medical school dean. Before advising students, she spent decades reviewing applications, interviewing candidates, and helping decide who moved forward and who did not. Now she uses that experience to help students make sense of a process that often feels overwhelming and opaque.
In this conversation with Rob, Jodi breaks down what admissions committees actually care about, why silence from schools happens, how waitlists really work, and what students can control even when the process feels out of their hands.
If you are applying soon or trying to understand how admissions decisions are really made, this interview will help you think more clearly and strategically about your next steps.
