In this video, we'll teach you how to optimize your medical school list.
The questions "Which medical schools should I apply to?" and "How many med schools should I apply to?" seem simple on the surface. You probably want to attend a school that is highly ranked, and in a desirable location. Fair enough!
WHERE you apply to medical school is one of the most overlooked aspects of the application process. Many students mistakenly think that applying to a large number of medical schools is the best way to maximize your odds of becoming a doctor. However, secondary essays take time to produce and if your list is too long, you run the risk of compromising application quality.
This is why evaluating your own competitiveness at each program is so important. Fortunately, there are proven strategies you can use to develop your ideal medical school list. We'll show you how!

Thank you for the info. Do you know if any special program that increase the chance of getting into? Like; we accept you if, after graduation you work in the same state for 5 years?

Hi…please I got a late acceptance from a school last cycle, and wanted to defer my matriculation because I had army commitment that’d coincide with my enrollment. But the school denied me the opportunity to defer since I got in off a waitlist, and so I had to withdraw my acceptance. Will that have any consequence on my future applications to other schools? Thank you.

Hey, I think the link you attached to download the free guide is not correct because it redirects me to a blank page

Thank you for the video, i was wondering what modifications you would make for evaluating whether med schools were safety, target or reach for the more competitive schools and for students with higher stats. Namely, I have a 522 MCAT and a 4.0 but obviously schools like vandy or harvard are still reach schools

@Shemmassian 3 жыл бұрын

You're right that some schools are reaches no matter what. However, with a 4.0 and 522, you would be considered competitive at Tier 1 schools based on stats alone. The goal is to cast a wide net within Tier 1 and balance that out with other schools.
