Mature Student Entry Into Medicine:

Medical Applicant Competitiveness Review

Our advisors will comprehensively review your education credentials, employment experience, research endeavours, extra-curricular activities and community contributions. Once we establish an understanding of your current pre-medical candidate profile, we then adopt an evidence-based strategy to carefully craft an action plan towards medical school acceptance. Factoring in all essential variables, we outline a comprehensive plan on how to make you succeed in pursuing your passion for medicine.

Many non-traditional medical school applicants ask themselves, “can I apply to medical school as a mature applicant?”, “is it possible to even pursue medicine at my age?”, “what requirements are there to apply to medical school?”, “is it too late?”. At MedApplications™ our advisors specialize in assisting non-traditional medical school applicants with career changes towards medicine. We work closely with you to analyze your current career profile and outline the steps necessary to pursue a career in medicine.

Medical CV Development

The key to a successful medical school application is having a strong paper version of yourself. Many students ask, “what are the best courses to take for medical school?” What volunteer and extra-curricular placements should I do? These questions are strategically addressed by your medical consultant coaches. We ensure you select the best possible volunteer placements, apply to the most competitive leadership positions, and apply to the most coveted research placements.

There is no perfect recipe to getting into medical school, rather an evidence-based approach and strategy created and implement by the medical team at MedApplications™. With growing competition in the application to medical school, the MedApplications™ advisory team emphasizes that candidates interested in pursuing a medical career start early. 

We begin by facilitating a comprehensive interview of all activities to date, spanning employment, volunteer work, research and educational activities. We then craft a competitive medical outline detailing the pertinent components of each activity a medical school reviewer would look for. By getting to know you, we draft a competitive CV that highlights your strengths and minimizes any potential areas of weakness.

Medical Research and Clinical Placements

Healthcare related experience is critical when applying to medical school. We help you navigate and apply to these competitive placements.

Selecting the highest yield medical school activities can be daunting. Many applicants pursue activities that they think medical schools are looking for, but often fail to create the well-rounded profile required by leading medical schools in North America. The Medical Research and Volunteer program at MedApplications™ aims to take the guess work out of how to excel during an internship.
