Talk:Angela Diaz

Can we find out more about how she got into med school?
Article says she was able to convince an admissions person to let her in despite not having taken exams to get into medical school or having $15 admission fee. Getting in without the exams intrigued me as it really broke what I thought were ironclad rules about how one gets into medical school. Can we find out more about how she was able to do this? I've done some Google searching but not gotten an answer. Greg Dahlen (talk) 11:10, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * , well I'm glad my DYK hook was a good one . The website attached to the sentence says she met with an admissions officer and made the case and I think I read elsewhere someone came with her to also make their case. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 12:08, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * HickoryOughtShirt?4, thanks, yes, I had read that, but I wanted to know more specifically how she made that case. Because no matter how well you can talk about what you've done, I'd think med schools would want you to be tested to really pin down if you have enough knowledge to warrant admission. I would think the tests would ask more knowledge questions, more specifically, and in a broader range, and see more how well the person seeking admission can solve specific problems than in an interview with a counselor. Her getting in without taking this shows creativity, and I feel enhanced by knowing more about creativity. So yes, it was a good hook, at least for me, and I wish I knew more. I got Dr. Diaz's email address from the Web and sent her an e-mail asking about it. If you could find out anything more about this or find where you read that someone went with her, I'd enjoy knowing about it. Greg Dahlen (talk) 12:21, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
