Want to be a Doctor? How to Improve Your Chances of Getting into Medical School
|
Posted By: Anica Oaks on March 28, 2018 Getting into medical school is harder than it used to be. You should start preparing early on to improve your chances of getting into medical school. You can also take advantage of a few tips that will help improve your chances of getting in. Start Early Many people who get into the medical school of their choice start out early. If you start thinking about a medical career in your first years of high school, you will be better prepared to get into medical school. Of course, many people don’t even start thinking about it until college. The earlier you decide you want to get into medical school, the sooner you can start taking the steps to get there. Include Extracurriculars It can be easy to think only about academics when you’re preparing for medical school. Don’t let that be the only thing you think about, though. Medical schools want to see people who know how to have a good work-life balance. Extracurriculars can help you with that. Another thing medical schools love is volunteers. Volunteer as much as you can and in the most relevant places you can to up your chances of getting into medical school. Prepare for the MCAT Nobody gets into med school without passing the MCAT. You can be better prepared for the test by getting MCAT private tutoring. A tutor can help you with the things you’ll see on the test. Many of the tutors you find will have already taken the MCAT and might have even gone to med school already. They know the right things to teach you to help you get through the test and pass. Choose the Best Major While most colleges don’t offer a “pre-med” degree, they may have tracks in place you can take for pre-med. Choosing a major like biology can help you be better prepared for medical school. It is a good idea to know which schools you want to go to and find out what they prefer for pre-med students. Look at all of the things the degree will involve and find out how it will help you with medical school in the future. As long as you know what you want, you can go after it. Getting into med school isn’t an easy task, but you can improve your chances by using some of these tips. Keep in mind, too, that if you don’t get in on the first try, you can always try again.
