There is more advice involved than I can possibly give, but the core principle is this:

Volunteer in hospitals. Learn as many of the relevant courses as you can, and do well in them. Study hard. Pick a college where you will get a good education. Learn what is involved in being a doctor. Exercise your brain by doing research.

Will these help you get in? Usually. Sometimes there are times when they won’t, but these are the values you should hold anyway.

At the end of the day, it is not JUST about getting into medical school; it is about doing well there; it is about becoming a good doctor; it is about becoming the kind of person you would want to send your family to.

The core question is always:
“Does doing this make me more worthy of the trust people will someday place in me, or less?”
