What is the most important thing medical schools look for besides your GPA or MCAT?

I have all of these options and I know I need to do something to show on my application. It is nice to be involved and well rounded. #medicine #med-school -school #doctor #admissions #college-admissions

What are the top 3 mistakes applicants make?

As a student I've send out many applications, whether it was for an internship, job or for enrolling into a school. There have been more times where I got rejected than being accepted. It always made me wonder, 'did the other applicants have better grades or awards?' or 'did I just not fit their description?'. If you have reviewed applicants or interviewed someone before, please tell me your stories and tell me what made them a good or bad applicant. Can't wait to hear them :) #college-admissions #hiring #admissions #job-interview #creative-internship

What things can I do during pursuing my bachelor's degree to improve my chances of getting accepted into medical school?

I am asking this question because I would appreciate all the advice that I can get on this question. I don't have anyone that can really guide me in this whole process, and some advice on the route that I should take would really help. #medicine #doctor #med-school #medical-school #pre-med #admissions #healthcare

What extracurricular experiences (beyond academics) do you believe were most beneficial in helping you prepare for and enter medical school?

I plan to apply for medical schools within the next 2 years and am curious as to what has been most helpful for others (in their personal opinion) to gain acceptance. I often hear that while grades and honors are important, there are many other things that admissions committees look for in an applicant. As a psychology student, I also wonder if extracurriculars will be even more important for me as I don't have as strong of a biology/chemistry background. #medicine #physician #medicine-school #extracurriculars #admissions #application #academic

Can I get hospital volunteer hours virtually?

I want to be an ophthalmologist in the future, and I am currently a high school sophomore (10th grade). I know in pre-med/medical school admissions they ask a lot about what experience you have in the health care field, but I'm not sure how I can do that in the current times (the pandemic). I know the Mayo Clinic has some programs for high school students, and I'm applying for those - but are there other virtual opportunities that are currently available for this? Thank you! Have a great day. #high-school #experience #college #pre-med #admissions #ophthalmologist

What is the most important factor to consider when choosing a college?

I've managed to come up with a list of several schools that I like and would enjoy attending, but I'm at a bit of a loss when it comes to which schools I should even apply to, let alone which one I should go to, one has a way better academic program, but the price is a lot higher and it's a lot further away from my home. Another is incredibly cheap, has somewhat decent academics, but is located in the emptiness corner of Minnesota. Others half check all the boxes, I'm not sure how to whittle down the list, and wanted advice on what other people thought. #college #admissions

What kind of medical-related jobs are med schools looking for?

I hope to go to medical school after I graduate. I know there is a lot that medical schools want to see on your application even before you apply. I have heard from some other med students that you need to have some form of job experience or volunteer experience in a hospital with patients. I don't know what jobs they prefer to see or how to get exceptional experience. Any advice? Recommendations? #medicine #medschool #jobexperience #doctor #med-school #admissions #college-admissions

Would "Special Circumstances" increase my chances of getting into a good college?

I'm applying for Dartmouth through early decision, and I recently found out that I can't include special circumstances. For example, growing up I had 7 siblings, and my moms boyfriend traveled a lot for work so I stepped up a lot to care for them. I had a response ability, and I wouldn't trade the the things I learned or the memories for anything. I didn't have a social life because I was helping care for my brothers and sisters. It got a lot more difficult when they found tumors in my mom. She couldn't care for them while she was sick. Though she got better I still find it my responsibility to help. Also my sophomore year I was homebound where teachers would come to the house to teach me because I had multiple surgeries and couldn't walk. Could this help increase my chances of getting in? Thanks #college #university #admissions #dartmouth
