If you are aiming for Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine and want a clear, realistic roadmap to becoming a competitive applicant, this session is for you. Join us for an admissions-focused workshop with Darrell Nabers, MSc, Dean of Admissions & Recruitment at Stritch, as he breaks down what the admissions team actually looks for and how to present your story with purpose. You’ll learn how to build a strong application from any starting point, including community college, university, and post-bacc pathways, and how to connect your academics, clinical exposure, service, and leadership into a cohesive narrative that stands out.
