How to get into medical school
It made me
 "Dedication, and being true to my self!"
How I did it: I know that I did not have a 4.0, and did not create a refugee camp for HIV babies in Darfur, BUT I did stay true to my self.

How I did it: Persistence, trying different approaches, going above and beyond, asking and speaking to lots of people, and making sure I had evidence of recent study and lots of work experience. A killer application form! Read how I did it…

Very happy
How I did it: I decided I wanted to be a doctor when I was 12 so from then on I was working towards getting into medical school. First I concentrated on getting the grades required for medical school, which I did. While I was at school I spent weekends volunteering at a nursing home. I did this for about 7 months and then decided to take a gap year to do some travelling. I travelled to India to work in Hospitals for 2 months, and then went backpacking … Read how I did it…

On the third year we choose the course we want to take and then they select the highests grades according with the number of spots.I was third place. Read how I did it…

I have my bachelors from College and now im doing post-baccularate work at a local state school. I am depressed, anxious, happy, excited, confused, optomistic… all at the same time. Im excited and happy for the journey that lays ahead for me. Im anxious because Im diving into a world of uncertainty, competition, and hard work. Im optimistic because Im still young and have the opportunity and ability to achieve this goal..its up to me to stay focused and determined. I am depressed because I just had my heart broken, I lost my first love. How do you get over someone that makes you feel so beautiful, so worthy of life, and gives you a high so unexplainable that it feels like you have seen God. How do you stop talking to someone that makes you love life and taught you how to love? How do you deal with the love of yoru life telling you…I love you but Im not in love with you…How do you cope? This is where the confusion comes in..I am battaling conflicting feelings and the effect brings about confusion….however I know with God and time things will happen the way they are meant to happen

Well, a temporary setback. But I’m not giving this one up yet, I’m just relegating it.
Basically I failed at getting into medicine, with four rejections and not even one interview. Basically, the schools told me that my grades weren’t good enough and like always, there was a huge amount of competition. It’s a shame, but none of the people I knew from my college applying got in either :(
However, like I said I’m not quite prepared to give up on this yet.
I’ve got a place on a Pharmacy course, which is something I think I’ll really, really enjoy, and I’m really looking forward to starting. Then afterwards I can maybe do postgrad – or who knows, maybe I’ll stick with the pharmacy. Four years is a long time to know how I’ll feel about doing something and pharmacy (particularly clinical pharmacy) is something that really, really interests me.
So there we go.
I'm almost there!

I’m a senior undergraduate, but I’m taking a year off before medical school. Right now, I’m collecting my recommendation letters and getting ready for the Pre-Medical Committee interview. I signed up to take the MCAT again as a “Just In Case” safeguard.
Oh boy. The hellacious process of applying is getting ready to begin…
I jsut want to help people already!!! haha.

I don’t want to do this anymore. I think it would be too difficult. And I believe I can be equally happy doing something else. Like being a paramedic, which I’m planning on studying.

So, yeah, I’ve got a little while, but this is definitely a LONG TERM goal. This will probably, by far, be the hardest goal I’ll ever make. I’m so scared!! But so excited, too!
As of right now:
Right now I’m just getting through a few prerequisite classes and then I’ll be onto my pre med ones.
(Oh, and as for the picture, it’s because I want to go to a med school in Chicago!)

Took premed classes. I did well but I realized after the first semester that becoming a doctor just isn’t worth the amount of time I’d waste in lectures etc. I don’t like the medical model of treatment anyway so why should I join in those schools?
I got into medical school with some help

Hi all!
I just got into medical school in Australia! Ye! I’m really happy and most of all releaved. It took me a while because its a long process over here and you only get one chance a year.
What really opened my eyes and helped me was a guy called Tomasz Forfa. He has an eBook which he gives away from free as a download at http://www.passgamsat.com
After reading that, my luck changed. The thing that I found most useful and what I think was most benefitial to me was the advise that the GAMSAT is not a knowledge based test. It tests you thining skills and not your memorisation of science.
Good luck to everyone!!
Oh and he also has a version for the UK GAMSAT t the same website
