I want to know what "everyone thinks" plays an important role in admission process for an individual.....???????

What are the factors of being a successful or a unique student for a medical college as a pre-med?

If we tell you, it's not unique.

 

[Bluntman]

Someone who is a normal person! Hands down. (once at the interview stage that is)

And if anyone *really* needs to ask, I mean: being personable, witty, engaging, having a sense of humor, smile, being able to have a conversation with someone, etc....

These qualities are relatively rare in premeds...as evidenced by the general failure of "premeds" to get girls/guys...a task that requires a similar set of personality traits to those described above. 😛

A med school interview is very similar to a job interview...at this point in the process, most people are considered "acceptable" candidates, and qualify on paper at least. Once the adcoms can put a face to an admissions folder, they are going to go off of their personal experiences with you much more.

my 2 cents.

Not being a doush bag

Not being a doush bag

Most certainly!!

 

[JustR]

If we tell you, it's not unique.

How about SHARING, does that count as a good quality in being successful?

Which is more important Uniqueness or Sharing?
Which one defines success?

I am thinking people are not creative and philosophical enough to talk about this!!!!! :sigh: 😴 😳 😀

 

[Saluki]

I think being unique is hopeless at this point. I know of at least two people who immigrated from foreign countries when they were small; I've met a couple who managed to perform at high levels in music during undergrad (different instruments though); several people who have worked overseas; tons of URMS; whatever specialty you're going to go into, obviously other people are doing it already; whatever grand plan you have to save all the African children from AIDS someone else has talked about it; I know several people who were top athletes (including one Olympian) who are now in med school. Even getting a 45 or having a good personality would only make you unusual (though maybe the combo would make you truly unique)

Combo!!! How can you make a better Combo?? If you are not one of 45ers!!! what should you have to look or to make the combo scrumptious?

 

[it.]

how about just striving to be a better version of yourself. see where that takes ya.... oh the places you will go...

 

[RayhanS1282]

How about SHARING, does that count as a good quality in being successful?

I really don't know how you are going to show that you are a "sharing" person in an interview. You can much on a bag of chips during the interview and offer the interviewer some but that seems to me to be about it.

What do you say about sharing IDEAS!!! That’s possible.. or else how are you going to communicate..??

 

[JustR]

Starving would take me no where, and I would faint right there. SO I need to have something at least in my Combo. If it is delicious, it’s even much better with a joyful taste.

I don’t know somehow the argument with “it” ends up being about food. First it was the ice cream, now it is about the Combo…

 

[JustR]

Back to the questions please,

If you are not one of 45ers!!! what should you have to look or to make the combo scrumptious?

[YouDontKnowJack]

WAIT! WAIT!

I GOT THE ANSWER!

to be successful, you need to study hard and volunteer at the hospital, and get a 30+ mcat.

 

[Saluki]

I have not received my scores yet. I feel confident I'll have received a 45, but since I haven't yet, I'll go ahead and answer your questions. If you had a 45, had a good personality, and were a URM that had previously been either an Olympian or won Wimbledown, I think that could make the combo more scrumptious to the adcoms. I think that whether uniqueness or sharing is more important depends on the circumstances. If you are sharing several hundred million dollars to build a new cancer center, then certainly sharing would be important to the adcoms. If you're just sharing chips or worse your ideas then probably uniqueness is better. I definitely think that what "everyone" especially my comrades on SDN think plays a huge role in my success in life.

likewise, i have no clue how you got sidetracked to food... 😕

By the way, from now on, It would drag me to the FOOD LAND!!! Ice cream and Combo for sure, I don’t know what else is on the way!!

Great Input!!! Circumstances and individual cases matters!!
Any other qualities that rings the bell???
Study hard
Altruistic nature
Sharing
Uniqueness.......

 

[RayhanS1282]

What do you say about sharing IDEAS!!! That’s possible.. or else how are you going to communicate..??

I would share my idead regarding worldwide domination and killing off the males and impose repopulating the planet on my shoulders but I think that'll raise some red flags 😛

 

[Enginerd42]

Uniqueness.......

Gosh, you're being a little too pushy here! Questions like these have been asked and answered many times: everybody gives their own input as to what makes the Combo delicious and in the end it turns out that the recipe contains a little bit of everything. Basically, there is no formula or mathematical equation that you have to adhere to in order to be THE candidate for med school. I'm not sure how old you are, but at this point in your life, you probably aren't going to be able to change your character/who you ARE in order to fit into this idealistic person. Someone mentioned it already, but I think the best advice is to just try to be the best person you can be, for others, your commuity, and yourself.

Yes, studying hard, being altruistic, sharing, and being unique are all important. Throw a little bit of everything into the pot, put it to good use, and I'm sure you'll turn out to be a great person in the eyes of the adcoms 😉

 

[themadchemist]

How about SHARING, does that count as a good quality in being successful?

How about not being snippy?

Which is more important Uniqueness or Sharing?

I dunno, you just seemed to ask about being unique at first. So I think that's higher on your priority list.

Which one defines success?

If either one of them defined success, then success would mean sharing or success would mean unique. Success is defined by many things, and those things happen to different for different people, and yes, even different for different pre-meds.

I am thinking people are not creative and philosophical enough to talk about this!!!!! :sigh: 😴 😳 😀

One thing that does not define success is condescension or an inflated perception of oneself, particularly when one fails to miss someone else's point. I shared good advice with you, if you had bothered to listen. We can happily discuss what makes us successful, but we can't discuss how to be unique. Uniqueness falls upon us by luck or happenstance or good fortune (or bad fortune, as it were), and not by design or group discussion. There's no blueprint to being unique, because being unique means that there's no blueprint.

So worry less about being unique and maybe you'll realize that there are probably a million unique, or at least rare, things about you and your background that have helped define who you are. I don't know what they are. I don't even know who you are. And maybe you don't quite know yet, either. One thing that this med school application process has taught me is a little bit about myself, even if it is masked in an attempt to sound like a fantastic person. It's introspection and it's important.

As far as being successful...I think that topic is beaten to death on these forums, in the media, in self-help books, and on infomercials. I'm not really even sure what success is, but it probably varies from person to person.

However, if you want to know what it means to be successful getting into medical school (usually the definition of success if you are a pre-med, because the defined goal of that category is to get into medical school), then the formula is pretty standard. Take a high GPA and high MCAT, add it to demonstrations of great leadership, initiative, and involvement, mix it with work that shows your compassion for society and understanding of medicine. Be confident and aware of your accomplishments, but add a good measure of humility. Do something that isn't required for medical school and seems to display your lack of interest in what medical schools "want" (of course, you do seem to be quite interested in exactly what they want, but to our own extents, we all are). Blend with a unique backstory, hopefully something filled with overcoming hardship or demonstrating courage and defiance in the face of a machine of injustice, and shake well. That's your pre-med success smoothie. If, along the way, you find a cookie to eat along with it that makes you legitimately passionate about something, actually love medicine, and puts you on the track towards happiness, not just professionally, but personally, then perhaps you'll reach the end of the road and feel fulfilled.

And that, I guess, is all any of us can hope for.

Here, here! That's what I was trying to say, but I was a little too impatient to put it all so eloquently

 

[CTSballer11]

I got one. Be really smart and get a real high MCAT, cure AIDS, kiss some adcom ass, and work in a soup kitchen for about 1000hrs.

mmm, i do love this little essay, really! 🙂 it's helpful to think of what will make you look good on paper, but all in all, isn't it most important who you actually are? i mean, your good grades and MCAT aren't going to comfort your patients, now are they?

but in terms of the actual application, i think it's important to apply to at least one school you're like 90% sure you will both get into and actually be happy going to. after that, you can feel confident to be yourself and express your unique voice in your application essays and interviews.

so we've returned to that "unique" word again...really, i write down whatever i think, and then i polish it. whatever it was, only i could have thought of it and written it in just that way. and this is bound to come across to adcoms if you're truly sincere and articulate this well.

is this all too sugar-coated? probably, but that's me - the hopeless optimist - and hopefully that's exactly what some medical school is looking for! 😍 ehehe...

 

[67192]

but in terms of the actual application, i think it's important to apply to at least one school you're like 90% sure you will both get into : ..

Which school is that?!?! 😱
Guess I forgot to add them to my AMCAS! 🙁 🙁 🙁

 

[indigoblue]

someone put something like this before, but to tell you the truth, i think dressing nicely has something to do with getting in... i'll fill in the details once i'm accepted.

Gosh, you're being a little too pushy here! ................ Here, here! That's what I was trying to say, but I was a little too impatient to put it all so eloquently

Enginerd42Well, I got to tell ya I am bit ***** sometimes, and that’s how I get things done. You were so “impatient to put it all so eloquently,” and I got passion to read and put everything together.

 

[JustR]

One thing ......for.

Themadchemist,
If we tell you, it's not unique.

Then you ended up sharing a lot informative stuff.
You got little bit of both!!! Having mixed spices Thumbs up for you.
Uniqueness falls upon us by luck or happenstance or good fortune. -- I agree.

 

[JustR]

I got one. Be really smart and get a real high MCAT, cure AIDS, kiss some adcom ass, and work in a soup kitchen for about 1000hrs.

CSTballer,
Yeah!! “work in a soup kitchen for about 1000hrs” – I like cooking so it won’t be that bad I believe.

 

[JustR]

Damn these food related posts...got me all worked up.

RayhanS1282 just there but not putting anything into the recipe, so not a passion to see how it is going to turn out, so no wonder “Damn these food related posts...got u all worked up.”

 

[JustR]

everyone is unique, you just need to look hard enough.

Jtank,

Somewhere2010,
Got to tell ya!! Good grades and good MCAT is not going to Comfort others. Care and listening to others would comfort.

 

[JustR]

Indigoblue,
“fill in the details once i'm accepted” – you always fill the details when you start an application, so filling detail before acceptance is on the plus side I think.

[MoosePilot]

You know what would be unique? A pre-med that didn't obsess.

yeas!!! totally agree.. i m dropping it off... guys Sometimes somethings should be taken seriously.. that’s the ultimate lesson. There is nothing wrong with fun!!! I almost scared all of you, didn’t I? sorry!!!
No more posting necessary..
Over and out!!!

 

[LadyBulldog]

everyone is unique, you just need to look hard enough.

aww, that's sweet
*hallmark moment*

 

[idealist]

it, is that really you in your pic? i get confused by peoples pics. girls are really boys etc.

i think a big drinker/drug user would be unique in a premed🙂 somewhat unique anyway..whether it guarantees success, i do not know, but it could indicate better social skills, an open mind. then again, it could indicate waste and insecurity. shrug. and how bout someone that hangs out with all different kinds of people. instead of just claiming to believe in equality and good care for everyone, they actually live it in their real lives. hang out with hs and college dropouts, blue collar workers, and rocket scientists. builds character and humility.
i think.
shrug
at least different than hanging out with premeds all the time or posting on sdn..
SHRUG

umm......just stick to what i said earlier, ok? 😉
