The first time this student applied to med school, she got no interviews. The next year, after rewriting a bunch of her application and getting some new letters of rec, she was able to apply earlier to more schools. She got two interviews, but she was waitlisted at both schools. What can she do to improve further? Does she need to take more classes and raise her GPA?As we look through her full AMCAS application, we discuss: • Can a good MCAT score help balance out a lower GPA? • Which abbreviations are okay to use in a med school application? • How to write about your clinical experiences. • Why I don't recommend focusing on the patients' gratitude or being thanked in your app. • Why her focus on dance was the downfall of her application. • How to show impact through numbers in your activity descriptions. • Why it's risky to depict yourself as an adrenaline junkie in your personal statement. • How so many premeds fall flat on their face when trying to be unique in the personal statement. • Why I think she can apply to med school again this year, and what I'd recommend she do to prepare.
