This week on Ask Dr. Gray: Premed Q&A, I spoke to a student who applied to medical school and received 5 interviews. After being waitlisted at all 5 interviews, she is wondering if her MCAT might be the obstacle on the road to a med school acceptance.

We discuss:
• When to start thinking about reapplying to medical school when on a waitlist.
• What did she do to prepare for interviews, and how did it go?
• What should be done differently for MCAT prep as she retakes it a 3rd time.
• How she has been preparing for medical school since applying.
• Should you keep your essays and activity descriptions the same when applying again to medical schools.
• The biggest missed opportunities to tell medical schools about who you are.
