Job experience while applying to med school

And the Med school advisors at her undergrad- who have experience getting kids into med school- can help as well.

I think this is a brutal year. The only successful applicant I know (so far) is four years out of undergrad with 2 years in a lab and almost 2 years in an organization which provides primary care to the homeless. The medical director of this organization wrote one of his references (according to his mom) which the parents thought was overkill but I guess not.

The other “fantastic scores, grades, and neat EC’s” who are either seniors or one year out- crickets. I think it’s THAT competitive right now.

The Wake advisors may tell her she’s done everything right and she just needs another year. Or they may tell her that her list is overreach, and that there’s a whole somewhere in her narrative. But they do this for a living and I’d encourage her to reach out to them ASAP.
