Hey folks.
With applications for next cycle just opening, I'm trying to find the best way to get some validation that I'm structuring my app right and that I'm not making any critical errors. I haven't been going into it completely blind so far -- I've had awesome friends and mentors throughout -- but I've definitely exhausted their collective time and familiarity with applying non-traditionally.
What I'd like to get your thoughts on is: what are the best resources to prepare an application? Online? Paid consultants? Other?
For me, I'm especially concerned with where to apply (e.g., I discovered a bit roundabount, not through MSAR, that my alma mater's med school doesn't accept older prerequisites...that changed my vision quite a bit) along with communicating my experiences and primary statement. For context: I'm older (30s) and coming from a career as veteran (Navy officer) and tech management (FAANG).
Any insights or thoughts on what has worked for you and what is out there would be amazing. Thanks for your time!
