If you are worried about your stats, the easy answer is, raise your stats.

But what if it’s “too late” in your undergrad career to raise it?

What if it’s too late to retake the MCAT to get a higher score?

Should you wait until the next cycle?

Kiss your dreams goodbye?

(Please, please, please don’t do that.)

If you are stressed out because you have “low stats”. Read on.

I had an undergrad GPA of ~3.4-3.5. Even worse, because of a bad semester and average performance the rest of the way, my science GPA was like.. a 3.0. Never mind that I believe my program was challenging. (Adcoms probably don’t know or care about that!)

And as a cherry on top, my MCAT was exactly 50th percentile. The most average possible MCAT score.

Fast forward, and I got like 4 interview invites, and acceptance from both of the interviews I took.. and a scholarship. In medical school.

How the heck did I do this?

Well I firstly believe God did it.

But what made me marketable and attractive to medical schools was my PROFILE.

Not my “stats”.

I went back to school and did a special masters program to increase my competitiveness and ease adcoms of any concerns regarding my future success. I earned a 4.0 and have an “M.S.” under my belt.

I worked at a research hospital hands on with research patients throughout my period between undergrad and med school, and got on two publications.

I did everything I could to prepare for the next step and demonstrate that outwardly.

If you want to thrive as a pre-med, you need to delete the term “stats” from your brain.

As someone on the other side of application turmoil. The hours I spent studying and learning about pre-med stats were a total waste of time.

The only thing you should be thinking about is answering three questions for yourself. Every day.

Can I do this? (Capacity)

Should I do this? (Fit)

Why do I want to do this? (Motive)

Now give yourself reasons for answering those questions by seeking meaningful experiences that answer the question for you.

Focus on doing what you can to show academic capacity NOW and going forward to ease any fears a program may have about you.

Stats might get someone in the “maybe” pile.

But it's WHO YOU ARE that gets you in the “Accepted” pile.

With the right capacity, the right fit, and the right reasons I know you can get in and succeed in medical school.

There are many components to crafting a killer medical school application. It only takes a few hours to craft a killer medical school application. But it took me years to give myself the answers to those questions.

If you want to craft a killer application that makes 4.0 gunners hate your guts, 1-1 with an honest med student who was just like you, hit me up.
