Reality Check
More than 50,000 people apply each year and less than half get in.
The Numbers
52,777 applied during the 2018-19 admissions cycle.
Applicants applied to an average of > 16 medical schools.
60% of applicants were rejected from all of their chosen schools.
Getting in is About More Than GPA & MCAT
More than 10% of applicants with the highest GPAs and MCATs are rejected from every school where they apply.
Planning & Preparation are Essential
Competitive medical school applicants tend to have:
- appropriate GPA & MCAT for selected schools;
- rich and relevant experiences;
- a personal statement that connects why you want to become a doctor with what you have experienced/accomplished; and,
- letters of recommendation that confirm and even add to your story.

I have worked at public and private universities across the country. Since 2013 I have focused on medical school admissions. Some of the accomplishments I am most proud of include:
- evaluated and made admissions decisions on more than 15,000 medical school applicants
- designed and built an applicant selection process for one of the largest medical schools
- focused my doctoral research on the AMCAS primary application (visit the Articles page for links to my dissertation, blog posts, and other works).
I now help students become competitive medical school applicants.
