Has anyone ever been in HOSA?

Question

Health Occupation Students of America.

I'm a sophomore right now and a lot of my upperclassmen friends are in it. I'm taking Health Care Science I this year and the first meeting is on Thursday.

I want to be an oncologist when I grow up so I thought it'd be a good club to join. Has anyone actually been in it and could give me some information on what it's like?

Those two links give a pretty good idea of what it's about, and the first link is to the official site with all sorts of info (use the menu/navigation on the left-hand side).

In general, though.. my family is absolutely LOADED with doctors, and I can tell you that every extra program/club/etc. you can get involved with will help. I suggest identifying several schools you'd be interested in attending and both alone/with a school counselor, figure out just which classes/things are *mandatory*, which are highly suggested, and what else you can do to increase your chances of admission.
