It's because medical schools are looking for more than just GPAs and MCAT test scores. They want to see well-rounded applicants who will complete the diversity of their incoming classes.
<p>Medical school is easily one of the most difficult, if not the most,
difficult professional schools to enter. Each year, many applicants with
4.0 GPAs and high MCATs are rejected, while other applicants with lower
GPAs and MCAT scores are accepted. Why does this happen? It's because
medical schools are looking for more than just GPAs and MCAT test
scores. They want to see well-rounded applicants who will complete the
diversity of their incoming classes. Each year we work with many
re-applicants who, more times than not, were rejected the previous year
because they did not present a compelling "story," or set of themes, in
their applications.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mdadmit.com/">Medical School Admissions Consultants</a>
can give you the guidance and competitive edge that means the
difference between being admitted into an accredited U.S. medical school
and having to face the daunting task of repositioning your candidacy as
a re-applicant, delaying your medical ambitions by a year.</p>
<p>Our consultants all have medical school admission committee
experience. Collectively, they have made over 50,000
accept/reject/waitlist decisions at a wide variety of medical schools.
They possess the necessary expertise to answer all of your medical
school and career-related questions.</p>
<p><b>Medical School Selection:</b> Too many people put the cart before the horse. Before you can start the <a href="http://www.mdadmit.com/what-we-do">medical school application</a>
process, we recommend that you take your time evaluating the med
schools that are most suited to your skills and objectives. A great fit
for a colleague might not be the right school for you. We can help you
explore all of your options (and there are plenty), whether it is an
M.D. (Medical Doctorate) or D.O. (Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine)
program, or in a state, out-of-state, Canadian, or other international
school. Above all, we will give you a professional and unbiased opinion
of your prospects for success in applying to medical school.</p>
<p><b>Pre-admissions Consulting:</b> Timing is everything. Perhaps now
isn't the right time for med school. You can still benefit from
researching your future options and thinking about what you want to be
able to do in a few years. We work with individuals who want to position
themselves now, so they can maximize their admissions prospects a few
years down the road. We'll talk to you about course selection, job
changes, networking opportunities, extracurricular activities, and more,
and how they can bolster your success later.</p>
<p><b>Essays:</b> There's nothing like having a sympathetic, and sharp,
pair of eyes look over anything you write before you share it with the
outside world. We will ensure that your application essays reveal the
real you and convey your unique potential as a future doctor. Please
note that, while we are more than happy to comment on the content of
your essays and to review them for grammar, punctuation and sentence
structure, we won't write essays or draft outlines for you. It would be
unethical - and it wouldn't increase your chances of gaining admission.
In fact, 'bought' essays are likely to do a medical school candidacy far
more harm than good. An effective essay tells the <a href="http://www.mdadmit.com/">medical school admissions</a>
committee about you - and only you can tell your unique story in
adequate detail. What we will do is work with you to help you draw out
and articulate your accomplishments and your 'story,' so that you write
essays that set you apart from the competition. Our insider's knowledge
of the admissions process also enables us to help you write effective
responses to such dreaded questions as "Why do you choose to pursue
medical school?", "Why now?" and "How can you contribute to the
diversity at our school?"</p>
