Don’t Procrastinate — Let 2010 Be The Year You Get Into Medical School With These 5 Tips.
Have the rules changed? Is anything different about getting into medical school this year than last? Not really, no — the same fundamentals still apply. But just in case you need a refresher on the 5 things you should be doing — right now — to increase your chances, we’ve come to the rescue.
#5: Practice Your Admissions Interview.
Sure, you want to keep loose during your interview, in case an unexpected question comes up that you need to answer. But at the same time, you want to know what you’re talking about, and look as though you have the confidence in your answers that you need to have. The only way to get this is by rehearsing.
#4: The Internet is a Useful Tool.
There are a lot of great eBooks, articles (ahem) and blog posts dedicated to mastering the medical school admissions process. Spend a few hours, print out 20 of the most comprehensive and helpful ones you can find, and refer back to them if you find yourself getting off track. If you put the work in, it’ll show.
#3: Read, Read, Read.
Admissions boards are looking for relevant knowledge, which means you really need to read in order to get your answers as best as they can be. Pick up some relevant, well-written books by doctors who also happen to write, and read them often. You’ll become better informed and make a better impression.
#2: Buy a Style Guide.
Ah, the dreaded motivation letter. Some of us have the unfortunate tendency, when faced with having to write something ‘official’, of sounding like a lawyer when we write, or like a government apparatchik circa 1950s-era Soviet Russia. Read some books on writing style. Have people you know are good writers look over your work. It’ll serve you far beyond just the admissions process.
#1: Do You Need Outside Help?
It’s not the easiest thing in the world, trying to get into medical school all on your own. If you find yourself struggling, or just need to get some professional perspective, look to the people who know the process inside and out. Talk to your counselors at school, or find a qualified advisor who knows what they’re doing. It might be the best investment you could make.
