medical school reapplicants this is uh really important not if you're a reapplicant it's
also important if you want to avoid being rejected what's really important what's
the top five reasons people get rejected is planning too late application too generic
doesn't stand out if you last minute there this is inevitable
select inappropriate uh non-academic activities not showing progression or commitment or it's
just frivolous you just it was something you just did for a week and it's not really that impactful

to specific sections of the video that you're interested in now let's get back to the video
in case you've never seen any of our past events my name is verus momenty i'm the ceon
founder here at [ __ ] poorly written personal statement essays and entries performing poorly
during admission interviews or casper selecting an appropriate school so if you've been rejected
uh you have to have some strategies to deal with this and figure out whether it was your gpa mcat
list of experiences personal statement casper interviews or referees all of these should check
out they should not they don't need to be perfect that's not what we're saying but in you cannot
have what uh you know if you've been rejected that means there's a problem there's usually
a combination so you have to diagnose that and this is how you could diagnose it kind of
one did you get rejected before and after interview that's an indication that you could
run and i'll explain to you what you could do if you got interview invitations let's let's first
pretend you got interview mutations then you got rejected well the first question in this diagnosis
is how many assuming you apply to multiple schools how many did you get one interview or you got five
if you got five interviews well you got interview skills issue not an application
ncat casper et cetera issue that's not the issue you have an interview skill issue
you have to focus on your interview skills and in that case it is okay to submit the
same application because the application got you to interview multiple interviews
but you applied to 15 schools you got one interview what's the issue two issues you
don't have interview skills nor do you have application skills but the fact that you got
one interview means it's probably not your stats etc that are this before the application so your
personal statement wasn't good your list of activities wasn't good maybe casper wasn't good
interview obviously wasn't good you didn't get accepted that's how you do it now what if you
got no interview well you have to last let's ask you there is no just one single answer
how many schools did you apply to did you did you get really attached to i only want to apply
to one school and only did that well if you did that that doesn't mean your stats were
not good you just played the wrong game there is a little bit of a numbers game why because
people who are reviewing your documents are human if you're the first applicant eight in the morning
you're going to be treated very differently than the applicant at 4 45 p.m after a thousand
applications right there person's tired that's where you gotta apply to more schools so at least
that doesn't kill your chances just because the person is tired or more fresh or less fresh
if no if you apply to uh 15 schools no interviews at all then you got to dissect backwards
how was your application what was your personal statement who did your reference letters
and letters of recommendation how did you write your list of activities
what schools did you choose you got to go and do all of those things that's what we do you know
with our students like if you're being rejected we say you know forget about that now let's start
from scratch we'll tell you what to do at every step because you waste time trying to dissect
but if you're doing it on your own you have to dissect to see what's going on so that
you know what to spend time on and of course you know yourself if your mcat is you know
20th percentile you already knew so you already know like you cannot fool yourself
if it's literally your gpa okay you know that i'm assuming that you know that your mcat and gpa are
decent enough then you got to dissect all these other things uh another reason you may not get to
interview is catholic depending on what school you apply to everything else might be cool everything
might check out you didn't do well in the casper they're not going to watch for interview
uh very important that whatever the reason you find avoid making the same mistakes that's why
it depends should you send the same application it depends did you get a lot of interviews
then yes no if not then please don't send the same application that doesn't make sense
it's like you know touching that red wire over and over again and expecting not to get electrocuted
when you've been electrocuted a few times uh most importantly this is why i said it's so important
for those of you who are applying first time and sub prevention is better than a pound of cure
you know we've given you every tool you need to know exactly how you get rejected
how you get accepted avoid those mistakes start early you know make sure you put in the right
schools that make sense make sure you don't waste time on schools that don't make sense make sure
your activities you include the ones that make sense make sure you don't go on some dumb you know
a random forum and listen to some you know bigfoot one two three four five like why would you give
your you know future careers to some random person online for him when you know what the right thing
to do is it's good to use forums for just you know if you wanna just browse feel good whatever
but they're not gonna give you right information they're not gonna definitely will never give you
personalized information if you're totally stuck first of all go to the official sources
then if you want somebody to help you get somebody to actually help you out with your specific if you
cannot figure it out but like a forum is not going to do it some generic google search is not going
to do it so do make the right decision so you never have to get to this stage you never have
to diagnose why you got rejected that's where to start that's a better hampton thanks so much for
