Here’s my 2-minute answer to the question I hear every application season: “I was rejected by every single medical school I applied to. What can I change?”
There’s a simple 2-step process that rejected med school applicants need to follow:
What exactly was your application weakness? Did you apply too late? Then this year, apply as soon as AMCAS opens. Was your MCAT too low for the schools you applied to? If so, apply to schools with lower average MCAT scores or retake your MCAT and score higher so that your target schools will notice you. Were your grades too low? Maybe you need to take some extra courses or complete a full postbac program (and do well!). Did you blow your interviews? Maybe you need some interview coaching for next time.
Our expert advisors can help you determine what went wrong last time and what you need to do to succeed next time. Check out Accepted’s Medical School Admissions Consulting Services for more information on how we can guide you through every step of the admissions process.
