So You Wanna Be a Doctor? Med School Strategy 101


Listen Later

Everything pre-meds need to know about the MCAT, AMCAS, DO vs. MD, research, and interviews.

In this episode of GradMissions Office Hours, we’re kicking off med school application season with an insider’s guide to the process. Whether you’re gearing up to submit your AMCAS or just trying to figure out if you should take biochem before the MCAT, this episode has you covered.

What we cover:

  • The difference between MD and DO programs

  • When (and when not) to take the MCAT

  • Why biochem is the make-or-break class

  • The truth about research experience (and how to actually get it)

  • How interviews can make or break your entire app

  • Why humility, clarity, and storytelling always matter

We also tackle a myth or two—and talk about the moment when playing hero in your interview might backfire. This is Med School 101, GradMissions-style: strategy-first, no fluff, and a lot of tough love because we'd rather you hear it from us than a rejection email.
