How to Get Into Medical School After You’ve Been Rejected

~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

Many students believe that to be a competitive medical school applicant you need to:

  • Do well in your courses,
  • Do well on your MCAT.
  • Take full course
  • Shadow multiple physicians
  • Engage in research.
  •  Serve regularly in meaningful ways in your community.
  • Gain hands-on patient care experiences
  • Obtain glowing letters of recommendations
  • Completed applications and essays

If it were that easy to be accepted, then everyone who applied would be accepted into medical school.  Every year, over 50,000 students apply to medical school, but 60% are rejected!  Statistics from the Association of American Medical Colleges reveal that about 17,000 more applicants sought admission to a U.S. med school during the 2021-2022 school year than nine years prior, a nearly 38% increase.

Here are reasons why more students being rejected:

  • Increase number of medical school applicants
  • Greater scrutiny of medical school applications
  • Mistakes on medical school applications
  • Low GPA
  • Low MCAT scores
  • Poor letters of recommendation
  • Poor or lack of advice

Here’s what you need to do if you have been rejected and will be reapplying:

  • Develop a winning narrative as to why you desire to and are committed to becoming a doctor.
  • Your application is not just about high MCAT scores and GPA, it’s about the interconnectedness of all parts.
  • Re-evaluate your medical school list based on your “best chance” schools
  • Re-evaluate your medical school application. Is it admissions ready?
  • Hire a medical school admissions advisor/expert who understands the re-application process and has the track record of helping students who are re-applying to be admitted.
