Hey Insight Members,
There will be a Kaplan workshop this Thursday, May 8th. A Kaplan representative will go over how to write personal statements and essays. This will be beneficial if you're planning to apply, since it will go over what the optometry schools look for on your personal statements and essays. The workshop will be at 7pm in Pac Hall 3500. Come for some free food too!!!
Also, attached is the 7 descriptions for the Insight Cabinet. If you're planning to apply and run for office, take a look at it and let us know if you have any questions. Again, that is just a general description. Changes can be made by the new cabinet if needed. Remember applications for scholarships and office are due on May 15th at 11:59pm, please email them to insightucsd@gmail.com by that time or it will not be excepted.
Have a good day!!!!

Insight Scholarships and Cabinet Applications
Hey Insight Members,
If you are interested in applying for the cabinet and scholarships, please email insightucsd@gmail.com to recieve an application. After talking it over with the officers, we decided to add a new position and committee. The community outreach chair will manage/lead the community outreach committee and plan volunteering/service events, on campus and around San Diego. We are currently updating the descriptions of all the cabinet positions, since there are now 7 cabinet positions, and will send it out in a later email. Committee members will be chosen once the new 2008-2009 cabinet is elected.
Just a couple things to remember about the cabinet and scholarship applications:
1. Both are due on May 15, 2008 at 11:59pm. Please email us back your application with your name first and last name as the subject and indicate the application (cabinet or scholarship.)
2. For cabinet positions, please indicate your availability on Sunday, May 18th for the interview. The interviews will be held in the evening, so please list a time after 5pm and before 9pm. (From the interviews, current officers will choose around 12 members to give speeches. On May 21st, the general body will vote for 7 cabinet members. Then the current officers will reevaluate the applications and recommend which elected members should hold which position, based on who is best fit for that position and/or has shown strong qualifications for that position.)
3. For the scholarship applications, you can choose 1, 2, or all three questions to answer.
4. You must be an official Insight member to run for office or apply for a scholarship. If you haven't paid the $5, please due so ASAP. You can contact Heidi Tao or email us back to pay the fee.
5. Scholarship and elected officers will be announced on Wednesday, May 28, 2008 before our optometrist panel meeting. This will also be our last meeting of the year.
* The instructions are attached to the applications. Please read it carefully, answer the questions, and send it back to this email address (insightucsd@gmail.com) by Thursday, May 15th at 11:59pm. Any late applications will NOT BE ACCEPTED. NO EXCEPTIONS. Email us back with any concerns or questions you have.
Thank You and GOOD LUCK!!!!

Hey Everyone,
How have the start of Spring Quarter been? We are having our first meeting on Thursday, April 17th at 7:00pm. As soon as I know the location, I'll send out another email. Here is the info for this Meeting:
- Optometry Applicants Panel: Meet UCSD students who had recently applied to Optometry School and ask them questions about the application/interview process, about any tips they have when applying, letter of recommendations, classes to take a UCSD, etc.
- OAT Silent Auction: Bid on a Kaplan OAT Course. Last year we auctioned off a course for $1,000, saving the person who won $400. We will be doing this at the beginning of the meeting, so be on time if you would like to participate in it. The winner will be announced at the end of the meeting.
So, save the date and hope to see you all there!!!
