Everything You NEED to Know About Applying to Medical School (Premed Secrets!) How to Get Accepted

I attended @ucdprehealth and learned tons of premed secrets…and I’m sharing them all here on YouTube!! I was given permission to record the presentation from a top premed advisor and former admissions committee member, Dr. Renee Marinelli from MedSchoolCoach, as she answered students’ questions live, such as: ✨What extracurriculars are medical schools looking for these days? ✨What are all the steps you need to take when applying to medical school? ✨What is the timeline to apply to medical school (and how do I know if I’ve fallen behind)? ✨How competitive is medical school admissions? ✨How do I prepare for all the new virtual assessments (CASPer, Snapshot, Duet, etc)?
