Many pre-meds spent their summer slaving away in laboratories, and senior Ariel Berk is no exception. However, while most worked on the micro-scale, examining proteins, enzymes and other molecules, she had the unique opportunity to intern for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME), "sawing open dead bodies."
There are lots of things you need to bring with you when you come to college: bedding, books, clothing, office supplies and of course a computer. And since your parents are shelling out 160K for your tuition, room and board (provided you graduate in four years) you might as well add a measly thousand dollars to that total and make them splurge on some other necessary gadgets to assist in your educational well-being.

If the leading hospital in South Africa, Park Lane, can auction off liposuction and breast enlargements at online auction houses and turn a strong profit, why shouldn't Johns Hopkins open a plastic surgery wing and potentially earn some of the money being poured into cosmetic surgery?
