Refresh you letters of recommendations PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 09 November 2009 01:43

If you reapply for medical school and don't have any new letters of recommendations, that is the "kiss" of death.  Not having any new letters of recommendations tells the committee one of two things about you.

 

  1. You are too lazy and unmotivated to improve your medical school application, hence not asking for new letters of recommendations or asking your previous letter writers to rewrite a new letter with new information concerning your community service, clinical experiences, and research experiences.
  2. You did absolutely nothing new since you last reapplied, therefore you had no opportunities to ask for new letters of recommendations.
Don't fall into complacency.  Make this second time that you are applying to medical school your last time.  Make your reapplication COUNT!  Details are very important, and that means refreshing letters of recommendations.

Well, it's that time of year again. Yes, its when many medical school programs start. According to my contacts, there was very little movement in the waiting list for this past application cycle. Each year seems to be the record breaking year of application. One thing for sure, the medicine is still a very highly sought after profession despite more restrictions on medical reimbursements.

For those left on the waiting list, it doesn't mean you should reapply immediately. For one thing, you can contact the medical school admissions for feedback on your application.  Many schools give applicants feedback on their application. Find out what your application needs improvement before you re-submit your application. There is no use reapplying with your old application if you have not made any significant changes.  Bottom line, contact the medical school admissions and get feedback on your application.
