Colby College Admissions Event @ HMS

Calling all science-loving Gateway students, especially from the Class of 2011! Colby College in Waterville, ME will be hosting an admissions information session at Harvard Medical School this Wednesday, September 23, starting at 3:30 PM in room Tosteson 250.

Colby is actively promoting CAPS (Colby Achievement Program in the Sciences), a new initiative to support underrepresented minority students (including first-generation college students of any ethnicity) who major in science at Colby.

Colby College also happens to be the alma mater of our own Ms. Style!

Ms. Style and Dr. Wu will be attending this event, and we hope to see a great turnout from Gateway students in all three classes!

HPREP is coming to Gateway!

This fall, we are very excited to roll out a new school-based pre-medical activity for Gateway students. In partnership with the Student National Medical Association chapter of Boston University's School of Medicine, we will be offering an O'Bryant Gateway edition of HPREP (Health Professions Recruitment and Exposure Program), a nationally known mentorship program connecting high school students with medical school students.

Interested students should make sure to attend our sign-up meeting on Monday, September 21, at 2 PM on the Gateway side of the top floor.

Here are a few of the BUSM medical students who want to meet you!

Gateway 11 hits AP Chemistry!

It's hard to believe that many members of our first Gateway Class of 2011 are now embarking upon their first college-level academic experiences. Please enjoy the featured "Chem Is Try" video on Mrs. Drurey's O'Bryant AP Chemistry blog, produced by our very own Vicmarys Brito and Renee Baxter.

Good luck to ALL of our Gateway juniors enrolled this year in AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, AP United States History, AP Statistics, AP Spanish Language, and even a few dual enrollment courses at our Gateway partner, Emmanuel College. We are looking forward to your great achievements this year!

Done with Exams!

Congratulations to our rising sophomores and juniors for completing your final exams for the year!
