Number two is having a checkbox mentality. Instead of following a cookie-cutter approach and achieving only the minimum requirements, you need to push yourself beyond the average medical school applicant.
Pursue deep experiences that show commitment and perseverance. Not only will they make your application stand out, but they will also make you a more well-rounded individual in the process.
Number three is not applying to enough schools. Although you should be strategic with the schools you apply to, getting into med school is still a numbers game. In the long run, it is much more expensive to reapply than it is to send a few extra applications the first time around.
And number four is not preparing enough for medical school interviews. It doesn’t matter if you have a 4.0 GPA, perfect 528 MCAT, and glowing letters of recommendation. A bad interview can make or break your entire application. Familiarize yourself with the most common questions, plan out your responses, and practice, practice, practice.
