A successful medical school candidate is always thinking two steps ahead—and constantly curating his or her list of “experiences” for the Work and Activities section of the AMCAS application.  \nYou’ll need to ace the following aspects of the medical school application:  \n1. Your GPA  \n2. Your MCAT® scores  \n3. Letters of recommendation  \n4. Experience related to the medical field (such as volunteer work or research)  \n5. Extracurricular activities  \n6. Your personal statement  \n7. Interview  \nGet the resources you’ll need to approach your medical admission journey with confidence and swagger.  \n[Visit](Visit PrincetonReview.com/Toolkit)[ PrincetonReview.com/Toolkit](Visit PrincetonReview.com/Toolkit).  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nMission: Medical School  \nPlan Your Path  \nKnow Your Opponent  \nSample Questions  \nFind Your Prep Plan  \n02  \n04  \n06  \n08  \n10  \nBe Your Best  \nAvoid Pitfalls  \nIt’s Our Job to Make You Look Good  \nStudent Resources  \n12  \n14  \n16  \n18  \nPlan Your Path  \nA clear four-year plan for coursework is key to completing necessary medical school prerequisites. By knocking out your medical school requirements in the first two years, premeds can use the last two years of college to take electives, study abroad, or pursue a nonscience major or minor.  \nBasic Subject Requirements  \nRequired or Recommended Subjects   \n• Biology (with Lab)  \n• General Chemistry (with Lab)  \n• Organic Chemistry (with Lab)  \n• Physics (with Lab)  \n• English  \n• Biochemistry  \n• Calculus  \n• Psychology  \n• Sociology  \n• Statistics/Biostatistics  \n• Genetics  \n• Humanities  \n• Behavioral Sciences  \n• Social Sciences  \nBear in mind that each medical school has its own premed course requirements. Depending on where you plan to apply, courses in the above subjects may be required or recommended.  \n“My tutor was awesome and helped a lot! I’ve been having a really difficult time with physics this year, and this service has really helped. The year is almost over, but I hope to continue to use it next year.”  \n—Madison, on-demand tutoring student  \nHit Your Marks  \nDue to the sheer volume of medical school applications submitted each year, admission officers have to make some initial screening decisions based largely on GPA and MCAT scores. Your undergraduate performance is the most important aspect of your medical school application—especially your grades in hard sciences. Keep in mind that some of the most competitive medical schools may use national GPA averages as cutoffs for initial selection.  \nThe average GPA for medical school matriculants is around 3.70 with a 510/511 MCAT. If your GPA falls below a 3.40/3 .45, you should consider completing some graduate-level coursework or a graduate program prior to applying. We recommend at least one full year of graduate-level work BEFORE applying if your GPA is an issue.  \nADMISSION TIP:  \nYou can also find average GPAs and medical school acceptance rates in our online school profiles at [PrincetonReview.com](PrincetonReview.com).  \n\n|  | Applicants | Matriculants |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Science GPA | 3.45 | 3.64 |\n| Nonscience GPA | 3.70 | 3.79 |\n| Total GPA | 3.56 | 3.71 |\n\n[Source: www.aamc.org/data/facts/applicantmatriculant/](Source: www.aamc.org/data/facts/applicantmatriculant/)  \nDoes Your GPA Need a Boost?  \nOur tutors are online 24/7 to help you conquer your toughest premed courses.
