Greetings pre-med majors! Happy Saturday!
Say you have already had a confirmed plan to go to medical school after your undergrad pre-med programs, now is the best time to scout for medical schools in your areas and look at their acceptance requirements! The most common highlights medical schools look for is your MCAT score (out of 528), your GPA (out of 4.0), your volunteering/interning hours, and your experiences in a leadership positions in your lower education years.
