In this session we will assume knowledge of the topics addressed in A Physician's Life. That background is an essential part of the preparation for medical school!) We'll begin with an overview of the kinds of candidates sought by medical schools, followed by an in-depth discussion of prerequisite courses, the MCAT, each of the components of the medical school application and how to prepare to be a strong applicant. (See additional specialized sessions on personal statements, the medical school interview, and applying to medical school and navigating the AMCAS form).
