Daunted and overwhelmed by the medical school application process?
Confused about what you should include in your portfolio?
Terrified that you won’t be prepared for the interview questions or present yourself well?
The application and interview process is crucial for everyone pursuing a career in medicine
If just thinking about applications and interviews gives you sweaty palms, you’re definitely not alone. There are a number of things that set the successful medical school applicants apart and it may not be what you think!
Many people will focus on maximising their ATAR or GPA, but will spend no time thinking about how they will showcase their own skills and aptitude to become a doctor or how they’ll deal with interview nerves.
As a senior medical administrator with over 30 years’ experience, I’ve seen it first-hand time and time again. Surprisingly few candidates are really well prepared!
Where do many applicants go wrong?
