This might be crazy.. but i heard from my premed advisor that some schools are geared more toward applicants with a strong clinical background. just like some schools seem to favor very research oriented applicants... at least that is what my pre-med advisor said (she is a bit crazy so im not sure if this is true). She really encouraged me to research schools who favor people with strong clinical experience since im a emergency dept. nursing supervisor for a large hospital ... has anyone else heard of this? She mentioned UCSF haha which is such a tease since it is my dream school but that is a whole nother matter completely. This is coming from the same person who told me it would be super hard for me to get into med school because of my nursing background, then when i got a 4.0 on my prerequs and did a 35 on the mcat she flipped it around and said my nursing background would be an unparralleled asset... sometimes i think she is either a bit outdated or just a bit bipolar, but she does have great feedback on my personal statement even though she was so discouraging at first. So has anyone heard or know of schools that favor applicants with extensive clinical experience?
Any other RN's to MD's know any schools that were really receptive and open to your previous nursing career?
