Pre Med Check List
Finally, let’s make a pre med list.
Things to accomplish throughout your premedical years:
Meet with your premed advisor regularly. Find out the specific recommended premed courses and medically related opportunities at your school and the surrounding community. You want him or her to be your advocate, to know who you are, and to advise you.
Keep in mind academic success is your TOP priority above everything else. No one will even read about what you have done if your “metrics” (GPA and MCAT) don’t meet thresholds.
Keep a journal. Write down interesting observations, insights, and stories about your experiences. This will all be very useful when it is time to write your medical school personal statement, application, and secondary essays.
Nurture relationships with professors, principal investigators, and leaders at your college/university.
Remember, You will need these people as letter writers and advocates.
Explore research, medically-related, community service/volunteer, teaching, and leadership opportunities.
Try to stay away from ‘filler’ activities through which you won’t learn much.
Don’t be discouraged by a poor grade, one less than stellar MCAT score or other disappointment. Instead, figure out what you need to do to improve your candidacy and recover.
Explore other interests unrelated to medicine.
Stay positive! Like a career in medicine, applying to medical school requires a “marathon” mentality. It’s not a sprint.
