Going into your application cycle, you probably heard about students with great (or at least good enough) stats and extracurriculars yet didn’t get in, but you probably didn’t think it would happen to you.
We’re sorry to hear that you haven’t yet gotten into medical school. Going through the application process once is difficult enough. Going through the process twice or three times is much worse. You might be feeling anxious, disappointed, or even embarrassed. That said, we’re glad that you’re not giving up on your dream of becoming a physician.
When you don’t get into med school during a given cycle, it’s typical to try and pinpoint the reason why things didn’t work out. Were your stats not good enough? Did you achieve enough extracurricularly? Was your school list too competitive? How confident were you in rec letters? Were your essays as strong as they could’ve been? If you received interviews, how did you perform?
Unfortunately, it’s rarely the case that a single variable led to all of those rejections. Therefore, it’s important to come at it from multiple angles. For over 15 years, we’ve helped many reapplicants get into med school by closely reviewing their previous application(s) and identifying the exact areas they need to improve. Our exclusive approach to this process has resulted in over 90% of the reapplicants we support getting into at least one med school.
It would be a pleasure to help you do the same. We work with a limited number of students per admissions cycle, so please sign up today to make sure the upcoming cycle is your last.
