Dear UC Merced Pre-Med students, 

Can you feel it?  Now that the leaves have turned, holiday spirit is starting to brew.  This holiday season, Kaplan is feeling inspired to embrace the giving spirit.  As a result, we'd like to share a few upcoming events and resources that were created to help guide you down your path to medical school.  Think of it as our way of giving back.  As always, please help spread the word by forwarding this email to all who may benefit from it.
