To all future applicants, I have a very important piece of advice:

RURAL MEDICINE.

If you look at FSU’s College of Medicine, they are geared towards primary care and rural medicine. I was fortunate enough to come from a small community and the hospital I volunteered at gave me the opportunity to come in contact with elderly people which I’m sure helped my application. I also showed a passion for primary care in my application which should have helped.

Hopefully my interview goes well, fingers crossed!

Good luck to all future applicants :)
