Yet Another Student Proves You Can Get into Med School With a C in O-Chem | Mission: Accepted S1 E6

Today, we talk to the first student EVER accepted to med school with a C in organic chemistry! (Just kidding. Many students have been accepted with Cs in prereqs, including o-chem!) Now let's look at this student's full AMCAS application and see what got her accepted! Mission: Accepted features successful med school applicants. We dive into their full applications, looking at specifically what worked well, along with what they could've done even better. To apply to be featured on Mission: Accepted, fill out the application at http://MissionAccepted.tv/apply. Our student this week has gotten 3 interview invites and 1 acceptance so far in her successful med school application cycle. Taking a quick look at her stats, she had a 3.51 science GPA and 3.7 cGPA, with just one C (in organic chemistry), and she ended up with a 513 MCAT score. Her activities included being a teaching assistant, shadowing, a little scribing, non-medical interests, research (with publication), and a nice mix of other leadership activities (including sports), volunteer experiences, and beyond. While looking through her application, we discuss: • Why she believes she has been successful in this application cycle. • Why she didn't submit her application until mid-July. • Her journey from a 498 diagnostic MCAT, to a 507 Kaplan practice test just a few days before her exam date, to a 513 MCAT score on the real thing. • How she fit at least one anecdote into each of her activity descriptions. • Why it's okay to mark non-medical activities as your Most Meaningful Experience. • How to show impact with numbers in your activity descriptions. • What sports and athletic activities can add to your med school application. • How she started her personal statement with strong storytelling, and ended it with strong reflection. • The potential problem with learning statements like, "This is what I learned from this experience," and how it can take away from "This is why I want to be a physician." • Why you don't need to show off your knowledge of medical concepts in your personal statement. • Why I disagree with premed advisors who want to make the personal statement into a sales pitch about why you're going to make a great doctor.
