Apply to Med School When The Time is Right

• Study for MCAT, take a number of practice tests, then take the real MCAT in the spring before you apply.
• Complete applications through AMCAS and/or AACOMAS. Get feedback on your application (personal statement) as well as secondary applications (Writing Center, Career Center, Allied Health Adviser, faculty/references, peers etc.)
• Solicit reference letters. Help your references write strong letters by giving them your resume which summarizes your activities and accomplishments and perhaps even list a few bullet points or real life examples that would help them better represent your unique skills and background.
• Schedule a “mock videotaped interview”
• Interview, get accepted, and make decision!
