Hello podcast listeners! We have another great episode for you, with advice on how to get into postgraduate school (medical and graduate). We are starting a new series, so let us know what you think!
Virginia starts off talking about getting into medical school. She discusses the components of the application. One piece of advice: there is no magic algorithm to get into medical school! She advises to try and do things you enjoy rather than check a box for an application.
Frances follows up with information about getting into graduate school. She covers the different application components, and some of the science of getting in. While GPA and GRE scores are important, there are other aspects to your application that make you a well-rounded grad student (i.e experiences, communication skills etc.).
As always, sources. Hope you enjoy!
