Out of 11,500 applicants, only 167 became the Class of 2022.
The Class of 2022!
Here's the YouTube video where they all walked into the auditorium.
The medical students were then called to the stage in groups. Ashlyn was on the end of her group.
And finally it was her turn!! :)
The professional photographer captured it best!
Here's the YouTube video of her name being called and receiving the coat...
She received a monogrammed coat, a personalized stethoscope, her medical pin, and a VCOM pin.
We were so proud her! They do this after Block 1 to make sure the students can handle the coursework and intense program.
A picture of all of us, minus our son at college.
Then a nice reception on the grounds. They had little sugar cookies with white coats, lots of delicious dessert squares, and fresh fruit. It was really fancy like a wedding. Even their water bottles were custom-labeled. I see where all the tuition goes.
Since we were hungry and wanted a more filling meal, we took Ashlyn to the Beacon. This place is famous in SC for it's greasy burgers, fries, and onion rings. We dared her to wear the white coat in there, but it wasn't the place for a medical professional to be seen.
She was excited to try it!
Despite the clogging of our arteries, we made the best of it! All smiles here to celebrate a fun day.
