<p>I might clarify that the tone in my #11 is different than it usually is because I was responding to a post (now deleted) from a poster who is probably a ■■■■■. I think my advice is the same regardless of who it’s for, but the “who” I was addressing in #11 tends to come off as whiny and and irritating, which is why my reply might come off as annoyed.</p>
<p>I’d revise it to say: </p>
<p>Really, it’s pretty simple to get into medical school and it doesn’t depend on your major. What you need to do is distinguish yourself. Get out there and do something. Make a difference. Solve a problem. Study hard. Find your passion. Volunteer in service to other people. Establish yourself as a leader on campus. If your passion’s medicine, you’ll find a way to make it work. </p>
<p>If there’s one thing all medical schools are looking for, it’s candidates who work hard and have both the promise and potential to be wonderful physicians in the future. Show them that they’re going to be making a great investment by admitting you, that they’d be crazy not to take you, and you’ll be on your way to White Coat Ceremony before you know it. Good luck!</p>
