Reapplying to Medical School – Getting Accepted the Second Time

Join Dr. Renee Marinelli, Director of Advising at MedSchoolCoach, for a detailed session about the Medical School Reapplication process. Dr. Marinelli brings her extensive experience in medicine and as a member of the University of California Admissions Committee to offer you strategic insights on how to get into medical school if perhaps you did not succeed the first time. In this session, you will learn to:

• Approach Rejection Constructively – Gain insight into transforming rejection into a learning opportunity, including understanding how to dissect feedback from medical schools and cope with the emotions involved.
• Evaluate Your Application Critically – Learn the key elements of reviewing your previous application, focusing on GPA, MCAT scores, and extracurricular activities to identify areas for improvement.
• Enhance Academic Credentials – Understand how to bolster your academic profile, including when to consider post-baccalaureate programs and MCAT retakes, and how to effectively seek academic guidance.
• Optimize Clinical and Research Experience – Discover the value of clinical exposure and research activities in your application, and how to effectively communicate their impact in your re-application.
