Our student this week has some questions about how to emphasize the strong ties she has to a medical school when applying. We discuss:
• When is it appropriate to apply early decision to a medical school?
• Is it okay to ask for letters of recommendation from people who have ties to the admissions committee at that school?
• A little trick you can use in AMCAS for LORs from your connections at that specific school.
• Should you get a prehealth committee letter?
• Should you call out a specific medical school in your personal statement?
• How can your activities section show your ties to a specific medical school? Should they?
• Should you be worried about not having any long-term activities you stuck with for years on your application?
