Answer 1

How long have you been thinking about going to medical school? I started thinking and planning for medical school when I was sophomore in college. I hadn’t made the best decisions in my freshman year and didn’t really know were to turn for high quality medical school admission advice. I had the option of paying for an advisor to get information about going to medical school, but this would have been extremely expensive. So I opted for a go it alone approach and this is some of the information I have collected.

The biggest obstacle I had facing directly in front of me was taking the MCAT exam. The MCAT covers biology, physics, chemistry, writing, and reading comprehension. The hardest areas I found were chemistry and physics. The best practice I found on the internet can be found at http://www.testprepresearch.com/mcat . For a small fee I was able to download numerous practice questions that provided high quality MCAT practice. I also used the website: http://www.testprepreview.com to provide me with extra free chemistry and physics questions. After purchasing some of the better study guides on the internet, I was all set to begin the tedious process of learning the information. It was amazed at how tricky the MCAT test really is. Over 30,000 people search the Internet for information about the MCAT every month. This is a highly competitive test. If you are trying to go to a prestigious medical school, you had better have a great MCAT score to even be considered.

Here are some key MCAT test taking tips:

1. There is no penalty for guessing on the MCAT. Answer every question on the exam.

2. Watch the clock while you take the test. Wear a watch and know your time restrictions per section by heart.

3. Read the test directions carefully.

4. Eliminate choices that are obviously incorrect.

5. Don’t pick the first answer that looks right. Review all of the choices.

6. Pay close attention to qualifiers such as: except, only, never etc..

7. Get plenty of rest before the exam. Don’t try and read a biology text book the night before the exam.

8. Take all of the required identification materials to the test taking center. Find these in advance and put them in a secure location.

9. Set-up a study schedule

10.Choose the right review materials for you.

11.Keep a positive, confident attitude before taking the test and following the test.

12.Do your best on every question. If you don’t have a clue, guess and move on to the next question.

The other key step in getting accepted into medical school is your application and interview. Here are some interview questions that you should familiarize yourself with. Step right up the microphone and become your own salesman.

Why do you want to be a doctor?

When did you know you wanted to be a doctor?

Do you think you will specialize as a doctor and what field would you choose?

Why are you better than the applicant sitting next to you?

How do you handle personal tragedy and death?

What is your favorite sport or hobby?

Tell me about yourself? (Loaded question)

Where are you from?

How well has your academic experience prepared you for medical school?

How would most people describe you?

Basically, know the answers to these questions. They will be asked. If you write out answers to these questions and memorize them. Try them on your family and make sure you have a natural delivery.

Make sure to distinguish yourself as a great candidate for medical school. Don’t be too passive or timid when they ask you tough questions. Moreover, don’t try and fill in the holes in your statement or argument. If some asks you a tough question like: “What do you think about suicide?”

State your position with adequate support, but don’t try and prove your point to the medical school admissions committee.

Your application should also reflect your dedication to medical school. If it is filled out incorrectly you do not appear to be the most professional candidate. If given the chance, type your application and avoid handwritten information. If someone does not like your handwriting, you may get hurt on your application score.

Some of the best advice I heard starting to prepare for medical school was get to know your current medical school advisors and keep them informed of your progress. They may be hard to get along with professors, but their vote may be critical in helping you get into medical school. Consider this fact, in many cases the chairman of the medical school committee will call the medical school advisor at your school to get their opinion of you. If your advisor has a poor opinion of you, or if they don’t know you this may hurt. If your application leaves you teetering on the edge of medical school or the great abyss a personal phone call from your advisor to the school can really help.

The curse of many medical school candidates is the “W’s” on your transcript. These will not go away, unless you are able to bribe the transcript office. So be careful which classes you choose to drop. If you are able to pick your professors while you are signing up for classes you are in the lucky minority. If someone asks you in the application interview about your class Withdrawals be prepared to explain each one. It is not recommend that you say, “I dropped this class because the professor was terrible and I thought I would get a bad grade.” You won’t be allowed the “W” privilege during medical school. You will be stuck with each professor and have to make it work for you. In other words, try and limit your W’s prior to the medical school interview.

Your presentation during the interview will also be critical. I would not recommend shorts, tee shirt, and a bad haircut. Go get a haircut at least 1 week prior to the exam. Were your best suit and look professional. Wear something conservative to the interview. The person interviewing you may be 40-60 years old and have strong conservative values. They will be offended if you wear something to “progressive.”

In addition, get your letters of recommendations requests to your “chosen few” with plenty of time for a good report. If you ask even your best supporter to write a letter of recommendation at the last minute you won’t be getting maximum benefit. I put together a list of my accomplishments, college and community activities to help my ‘chosen few” write great letters. First of all make sure that you are picking the best people, that know you. This is why it is so critical that you get to know every professor. Unfortunately, sometimes your best letter writer may move or change positions at the last minute. Be prepared for this contingency and have others lined up to help you if necessary.

Make sure that you send in your application on time. Some schools are a little lenient on this, but others really stick to the details. Make sure you know the date your application has to be in the review committee’s hands. Is your application based upon the post marked date or is it based on when it arrives.

These are just some of my notes in information to help other medical school applicants. I wish each of you success in your medical school application. Good luck on the MCAT and keep trying.
