Trine senior Morgan Walz was recently accepted into Indiana University (IU) Medical School.

The biology major from Hudson, Indiana, said this is a huge accomplishment for her and the goals she has for her future.

Walz said, “When I found out that I was accepted into IU Medical School, I was overwhelmed with excitement and joy. It was so rewarding to know that all my hard work over the past few years had really paid off.”

Walz credits Trine with helping her secure a spot in IU Medical School, by giving her support and encouragement through her education, and even providing letters of recommendation.

She said, “Trine was absolutely critical in preparing me for this success. The Trine professors are great teachers who genuinely care about the success of students like me. My professors always ensured that I clearly understood the coursework by answering all my questions and putting in extra time to explain concepts to me.”

According to Walz, the application for IU Medical School was rigorous, and required a lot of preparation and involvement on campus.

Walz said, “I prepared for my application by studying diligently and working hard during school so that I could maintain a high GPA and obtain a good score on the MCAT, In addition to this, I prepared for my application by joining different academic clubs, getting involved with other various organizations, volunteering at a couple local clinics, and shadowing several physicians.”

After medical school, Walz has plans to expand her education and explore a career as a primary care physician.

“My plans after medical school are to complete a residency program and to practice medicine in my home region of northeastern Indiana. Ideally, I would like to be a primary care physician who can give back to the communities that have given me so much,” Walz said.

When entering medical school, Walz is most looking forward to being involved with patient care and hands-on medical experience.

Walz said, “In medical school, I am particularly looking forward to doing clinical rotations and learning about the different fields of medicine firsthand. I have always been interested in patient care, so being able to be more involved in that process is very exciting to me.”

For underclassmen wanting to gain acceptance into medical school, Walz offers this advice:

“Put in the extra effort to not only get good grades, but to also obtain long-term knowledge and understanding of relevant topics, I would also suggest getting involved with various organizations, getting some sort of clinical experience, and volunteering in different ways to better your community.”
