[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is now an attending physician.  He did take 1 gap year after graduation. He had taken the MCAT junior summer and was happy with his scores. Applying to med school is a slog. You complete initial applications, then potential schools send you “secondaries” which are more essay questions + more $$. Then… maybe you get some interviews which you have to schedule and travel to. My DS wasn’t sure he could do this well along with his senior year and he was an athlete, which he didn’t want to give up. So for him, the gap year was a good thing. For more information, take a look at student doctor.net. There is an application forum and you/your son can look at individual schools. [/quote]

NP here. Can you share what to do to get into a medical school. In addition to Good MCAT, good gpa, research, clinical experience, volunteer experience, what else did he do to standout? Did he attend a top undergrad  school? My kid is in sophomore year. Looking for success stories. Sorry OP, do not mean to hijack your thread. [/quote]
