Do Comparative Research on Med School Backgrounds Comments Off

Researching on the background of the med school you are scheduled to be interviewed is not enough. Of course, it is a must but do not stop after learning about its history, thrust, research and academic programs, etc. To make sure you are fully equipped, do research on the med school’s top competitions, especially if you have submitted an application to those as well.

Doing comparative research on the different med schools background is very important because it will help you decide in the end which one you will want to go with, in case you get accepted to several (lucky you!). But before that it will help you fend questions and give more detailed answers for questions like “What attracted you to this med school?” or “What do you think we have to offer that other med schools do not?”. By knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the med school in comparison with others it will show that you did your homework and the amount of interest you have in really pursuing a career in medicine.
