Make the List, Check It Twice: Building a Med or Law School List That Actually Works
In this episode of GradMissions Office Hours, we’re taking you behind the scenes of one of the most important parts of your med or law school application: building your school list.
From application fees and student debt to geographic fit, specialty programs, and visit strategy—this is your 30,000-foot view of how to approach your list like a future admit.
We break down:
✔️ Reach vs. Target vs. Safety schools
✔️ Why “fun” locations might actually sabotage your goals
✔️ When to prioritize specialty programs (hint: rarely)
✔️ How to balance ambition with strategy—and your budget
✔️ The critical role of school visits and demonstrating interest
✔️ Why med applicants must cast a wider net than law applicants
Whether you're applying this year or just starting to plan, this is the episode that makes your list smarter, sharper, and way more strategic.
