How to Make a Medical School List: Which Medical Schools Should You Apply To?

In this video, we'll teach you how to optimize your medical school list.

The questions "Which medical schools should I apply to?" and "How many med schools should I apply to?" seem simple on the surface. You probably want to attend a school that is highly ranked, and in a desirable location. Fair enough!

WHERE you apply to medical school is one of the most overlooked aspects of the application process. Many students mistakenly think that applying to a large number of medical schools is the best way to maximize your odds of becoming a doctor. However, secondary essays take time to produce and if your list is too long, you run the risk of compromising application quality.

This is why evaluating your own competitiveness at each program is so important. Fortunately, there are proven strategies you can use to develop your ideal medical school list. We'll show you how!
