When your daughter re-applies, have her re-write her PS and make sure that she has multiple individuals read it so they can suggest revisions.

I also hope she’s continuing to volunteer regularly even though she’s working full time. Adcomms don’t want to see a gap in service.

EDIT: I strongly suggest your daughter purchase an annual subscription to MSAR and she pays close attention to OOS interview and admission rates for all public schools (and some private which may have a regional bias) She should not apply to any med school that has less than 25% OOS enrollment rate. Also, if she from an ORM group (Asian or white), she needs tp be in the top half stats-wise of accepted students unless she has a compelling narrative about overcoming adversity in her life.

She also needs to find central “theme” for her application. How does she envision her future career? Is she interested in community health? Healthcare leadership? Developing new treatment protocols? Something else? Her PS, secondaries essays AND ECs need to reflect her theme. And she needs to tailor her school list to fit her narrative.
