You’re going to make a fantastic physician. You know it. Your family knows it. And now you need to convince the medical schools to accept you. That’s the goal now, and the obstacle in the path to your dream career.
Let me show you the how to get to where you want to go.
You, like all medical school applicants, face the 3 C’s of the medical school application process:
1. Competition
2. Complexity
3. All-consuming
2. Complexity
3. All-consuming
As a result you may be experiencing stress, fearing failure, and feeling plain old overwhelmed.
You don’t want the application hoops – and there are several – to prevent you from becoming the dedicated, capable doctor you know you can be.
I get it. I’m Linda Abraham, the founder and president of Accepted, and we’ve been guiding clients to medical school acceptance for over 20 years.
Our clients tell us that applying to medical school is a grueling process, much more difficult than the undergraduate application process. And they also tell us that we help them get in.
As one formerly anxious, nervous client wrote when it was all over:
“I don’t think I would be at the same place today without your help. Out of 20 secondaries, I received 18 interviews, I went to 11, accepted to 5, and waitlisted to 4.“
At the heart of the work that we do with our clients is a 5-step framework that I’m going to share with you now. These five steps or elements are part of all successful medical school applications and need to be in yours. Your application needs to show that you:
1. Can do the work
2. Have a realistic view of clinical medicine
3. Share the individual school’s mission and values (more the job of the secondaries and IV)
4. Will contribute to your community both in school and beyond
5. Have the personality traits med schools value (compassion, communications, teamwork, leadership)

I just gave you an overview of the 5 critical steps you must master to get into medical school – allopathic or osteopathic. I go into more depth in the webinar, The 5-Part Framework for a Successful Medical School Application, and you are invited to view the webinar now. It’s free to view.
You need the additional information and depth provided by the webinar, so don’t delay. Watch it to reduce the risk of rejection and reapplication and increase the likelihood of acceptance to medical school.
And let’s face it – this isn’t really just about overcoming those 3 C’s that I mentioned at the beginning or even about getting accepted to medical school. It’s all about pursuing the career of your dreams and become the caring, compassionate, and skilled physician you know you can be.
