Marco Rivas - UChicago Medical Student Shares tips on successful application cycle, navigating small liberal arts college, breaking and creating habits and more! (#010)

Hey there friends! This is Nicolas Cevallos. Thanks for tuning
into another episode of Pass the Mike where I have the pleasure
of sharing the narratives of imminent or current medical
professionals. In short, my job is to build you a community of
mentors from the folks that have come before you. I couldn't be
more happy to kick this podcast off with my guest today, my good
friend, Marco Rivas. That's M-A-R-C-O R-I-V-A-S. Marco graduated
in 2018 from Haverford with summa cum laude with a degree in
Chemistry. Marco and I met an interview during the cycle last
year where he had a really successful cycle and will be attending
The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. Marco is a
research pro with experiences from Sweden to uChicago with a
first author pub in the American Institute of Chemical Engineers
journal. Marco also has experience working at Federally qualified
health centers as a volunteer and worked at collective health in
San Francisco which simplifies employee healthcare with an
integrated technology solution that makes health insurance work
for everyone.


You can find Marco if you want to say hello, ask a question or
shake your fist at m.antonio.rivas3@gmail.com  that's

conversation with him today. Marco, welcome to the show.
