💨 Abstract

Applying to medical school requires planning early in college. Key areas include maintaining a high GPA and strong MCAT scores, seeking mentorship, involving in purposeful extracurricular activities, and keeping a journal of medical experiences. Engaging in humanities courses can help with communication and empathy skills. Quality and intentionality in activities are more important than quantity. Reflection on experiences will aid in crafting compelling application essays.
