Here are 2 more things to consider while building a medical school list! Read our blog for even more info ⛑️📚

1. Choose schools whose mission statement aligns with your personal goals and values, especially if you have specific interests in primary care, rural medicine, research, and/or specific patient populations. Does the school have strengths in certain specialties that interest you?

2. Where do you want to spend at least 4 years of your life? Near family or a support system or exploring somewhere new? Rural or urban setting?

3 quick tips to level up your med school personal statement 🩺✨
1. Don’t spend too much time thinking of a hook to open your statement. Medical school officers do like an interesting opening, but they also like you to get to the point
2. Show your passion through real, specific moments, and not just claims
3. Reflect deeply to highlight your growth, empathy, and maturity

No license? No problem. You can still get clinical experience for med school. 🩺

Start with roles like:
• Medical scribe
• Clinical research assistant
• Clinic volunteer

Here are some other tips for re-applicants to medical school:

Reevaluate your medical school list. Lack of interviews can often be from a poorly constructed list.

Update your personal statement and consider adding an activity. You do not want to reuse the exact same application.

Consider getting updated letters of recommendation.

Good luck, and we are here if you need support! 📖

Here are three tips for building out a medical school list:
1. Take out a subscription to MSAR and start with your GPA and MCAT score. Does your GPA including your science GPA and MCAT score fall within range of the accepted medical school student at that particular school.

2. Read over the school’s mission. Do your experiences align with the mission statement of the medical school?

3. Ask your university pre-health advising office for a list of schools where students from your school have matriculated. Pay attention to the private schools on the list
