Medical school application process involves several crucial steps. First, take the required classes and the MCAT exam. Assess your competitiveness realistically and complete medical school prerequisites. Submit your AMCAS primary application and any secondary applications that follow. Prepare for interviews and aim to get accepted. Utilize resources like the MDApps Competitiveness Calculator to gauge your chances. Remember the importance of timelines, costs associated with the application, and the necessity of thorough revisions to avoid application pitfalls.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. The Application Process Chris Inabnit

  2. Steps Take classes covered on the MCAT • Take the MCAT • Are you realistically competitive? • Finish medical school pre-reqs (if you haven’t already) • Submit AMCAS Primary • Submit Secondaries • Interview • Get accepted

  3. Competitiveness • Use these to see where you do and don’t have a shot: MDApps Competitiveness Calculator Competitiveness Spreadsheet

  4. MDApps • Gives you an idea what people with your stats are doing • A person with 34 MCAT and 3.72 GPA (great stats): -Applied to over 30 schools -Rejected by 21 -Accepted by only 4 • This is why you apply broadly!

  5. Have a Question? • Student Doctor Network (SDN)!!! • Anything you could possibly want to know is here: http://forums.studentdoctor.net

  6. SDN • MCAT Threads • Pre-Osteo Threads • Pre-Allo Threads • Interview Threads

  7. The AMCAS Primary • Takes a LONG time • Start AS SOON AS IT IS RELEASED (~May 1st) Submission: May – mid July: early (Great) mid July – mid August: normal (Peak time for submissions, verification takes 6 weeks. OK, but not great) mid August – deadline: LATE (Unless you are a stellar applicant and submit your secondaries the day you receive them, you might be applying for waitlist spots) Don’t forget it how long it takes to verify!!!

  8. The AMCAS Primary • It is exepensive! • $160 base rate • $31 for each additional school

  9. The AMCAS Primary • Two very important sections: -Work/Activities -Personal Statement • SDN to the rescue! Work/Activities Tips Personal Statement Suggestions and Reader Lists

  10. The AMCAS Primary • Things you can do before and after submitting your AMCAS: -Add a letter of recommendation -Assign letters to schools -Add school to apply to

  11. Secondaries • Some come as soon as your AMCAS is verified • Some come over a month later • Some schools screen with MCAT and GPA, some don’t • Some are TIME SENSITIVE: for example, you have two weeks from the day they email you the secondary to complete it • Finish these QUICKLY • $50 - $150 per school

  12. Cost estimate • MCAT plus practice tests from AAMC website: ~$500 • Applying to 20 schools: $780 • Secondaries for half of them: ~$900 • Travelling to interview: ??? $100, $1000, $2000, it depends how many places you go • TOTAL (very rough estimate): $2000 - $4000

  13. Final Thought Time is of the essence, so it is crucial to submit your AMCAS and secondary applications as quickly as possible. However, be sure to thoroughly review, revise, and rethink EVERYTHING you write. It would be a shame to have your application thrown away because of a typo (this happens, according to admission committee faculty members)
