Medical Schools in the U.S.

Before applying to medical schools, make sure you know why you wish to attend each school. The admissions officers want to know why you want to go to their school specifically, and do not care for answers that involve school ranking. You need to speak of the curriculum and the faculty at that school, what research programs they have, and other things specific to that school. This will impress the committee, and will put your application on top of the pile.

Research the requirements for admission of each school. Find out how old your MCAT scores can be before you must retake the test. Find out about financial aid, about funding, and other pertinent information. In short, find out everything you possibly can about each school that you apply to before you apply.
