Apr 21, 2001:
I dumped the Guestbook today, and cleaned up the Q & A section somewhat. I'm trying to promote the web-forum as a suitable replacement for individual emails (my free time has dropped dramatically).
Apr 7, 2001:
I recently checked out my links section, and was appalled by the number of links that had gone dead. Unfortunately, when students put up web-sites on university servers, those tend to be deleted as soon as that student leaves. I've cleaned up the links section, although there are still some links that I couldn't determine if they are permanently, or temporarily gone, but things are much better now than they were before. As always, if you have good links bookmarked, please e-mail me at mdpremie@yahoo.com
Feb 24, 2001:
Added a new bulletin board to the web-site. I'm not going to make any structural changes to the web-site until this summer, at which time there will be a major overhaul. Until then, I'll be maintaining a good presence on the bulletin board, so be sure to check it out!
August 21, 2000:
Added another 15 e-mail replies to the Q&A forum. This month, a discussion forum was also added to expedite premeds helping each other; I don't have all the answers, but maybe you do. Also, two new links to newly accepted, and soon-to-be Canadian med students. Find the links to their web-sites under the Canadian section of my links page.
June 26, 2000:
Added another four e-mail replies to the Q&A forum.
June 24, 2000:
Added another five e-mail replies to the Q&A forum.
June 18, 2000:
Added a large section of information to the UBC section of the web-site. This is the type of information I would like to receive from current or future attendees of other Canadian medical schools: daily schedule, description of courses, etc.
June 14, 2000:
Added links to the web-sites of all the English-speaking medical schools in Canada. The Quebec schools are forthcoming. This is accessible in a new link labelled "Med Schools" in the main page. I would like to include applicant information, and statistics for each school, but for that, I need your help. If you can help me out, please e-mail me at: mdpremie@yahoo.com
June 13, 2000:
Added another seventeen e-mailed replies to the Questions and Answers forum. Also, the Stats page has been updated with statistics for UBC Class of 2003 (my class!).
June 12, 2000:
Added a new high school section based on an article written this year as part of a high school outreach program.
June 11, 2000:
Re-formatted the Questions and Answers section, and added some new replies.
June 10, 2000:
Added a "Questions and Answers" section. Ask a question, receive an answer. :)
Oct 23, 1999:
Re-formatted the opening page of the web-site to include a no frames version of this page for people using older web browsers.
Oct 3, 1999:
Added a section on writing the personal essay section of the medical school application. I've also found more web-site links, and am contemplating whether a new organizational format for the links page is in order. I'm also thinking about ditching the guestbook. Possibly thinking about adding a section of answers to e-mail questions.
Sept 6, 1999:
Put up a link on the Home Page that allows you to break out of frames. If you surf into my site (which uses frames) from another web-site that uses frames, my web-page is compacted by the "frames within frames" problem. Click on that link to break out of the other person's frames while still retaining access to their web-page. I also cleaned up and wrote some more stuff on the "Year 3" page.
Sept 2, 1999:
I've set up a new page on obtaining "Letters of Reference."
Aug 28, 1999:
New e-mail address! Added two new links to the US Advice section, and fixed a few typos on the web-site. Added some more information to the PMS page. Typed and ready for uploading is a new section on obtaining Letters of Reference. This will be going up shortly. I will also likely try to secure a Hotmail-type email address that works regardless of which school I'm attending.
Aug 22, 1999:
Added four new links to the US Advice section, and two new links to the Links section of the Links page.
Aug 19, 1999:
Added two new links to the Canadian Advice section of the Links page. Also completely re-did the Guestbook, by replacing the pre-existing Geocities Guestbook with the new Yahoo Book. I'm not sure if I just went forwards, or back!
Aug 6, 1999:
Added 13 new links to the Links page, and added this Updates page.
Aug 2, 1999:
Added some new links to the Links page, and edited parts of the MCAT section.
This is the mandatory Geocities insert to avoid those annoying pop-ups...
