    Medical School Admissions Advice: Resources to Help You Prepare

    Medical school Advice

    Preparing for and applying to medical school is an extensive process. From completing prerequisite courses and other important requirements to assembling application materials and participating in med school interviews, there’s a multitude of factors to keep track of.

    According to data from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), more than 60,000 candidates applied to Doctor of Medicine (MD) programs for the 2021-22 academic year, an increase of nearly 18 percent from the year prior.

    As a pre-med hopeful looking to stand out from the crowd, it’s no wonder you’re seeking medical school admissions advice. Learning more about the application process can help you gain insight into what MD programs are looking for so you can become a competitive candidate for admission.

    St. George’s University (SGU) has done an in-depth exploration with a series of articles that highlight the various aspects of medical school admissions. We’ve compiled this list of handy admissions resources to help support you as you prepare for application season.
