How I Got Into My Top Choice Medical School

The goal of every premedical student is to get accepted into their dream medical school program. But with daunting statistics showing how difficult just getting accepted to any program is, many students give up on this dream. I think getting into your dream program is not only possible, but it's more straight forward than you may think. And it's only when students try to complicate it that they end up disappointed. There's no doubt that it requires a lot of work, but working hard on what you are genuinely passionate about comes naturally.

    Im a second year college student, but really this is my first year actually experiencing college because of the pandemic. I have a bad habit of casting my net too far and wide and ending up with that long laundry list you spoke about! It's almost as if I cant tell what I'm passionate about anymore. Do you have any tips on narrowing down your extra curricular activities?

  • @EvolvingMedic

    @EvolvingMedic

    2 жыл бұрын

    I completely understand where you’re coming from! And in college, it can be easy to experience that “fear of missing out.” I would suggest saying no to things that only mildly interests you and look for things that you truly love and make you excited. And that way you can have a shorter list, and just by having a shorter list, you’ll be able to put more into the things you’re doing which will ultimately make you enjoy them that much more (kind of fulfilling that initial excitement you had for it). I hope this helps!

    Hi! It would be tough to share my school list because I made it on a note on my phone lol. And unfortunately the student package does not include a review of your ps and application. I’m sorry that we are not able to extend this resource out to more students at this time! In terms of sharing your specialty interests, I think it’s appropriate to share interests (especially when they relate to your story), but I would emphasize being open minded and wanting to learn as much as you can about all specialties in medicine.
