		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s medical school interview season yet again and I remember how nervous I felt preparing for my interviews last year. This year, after helping with the admissions and interviews process, I am glad and relieved to be on the other side. Recently while helping some prospective students practice interview questions, I recalled the anxious and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to giving marks for extracurricular activities , quality wins over quantity. A fruitful summer of research with a publication is better than three summers being a lab assistant/tech. A long term commitment to a volunteer organization with significant responsibilities is better than volunteering at three different hospitals. The same goes for personal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are so many factors to consider when reviewing medical school applicants.  You may have heard that volunteering overseas will get you big points, that you must do research, or that a good MCAT score will go a long way. All of these things do play a significant role in the admissions process, but if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When going through applications, nothing ruins a good application faster than ambiguous writing. Unclear statements make it hard for adcoms to review your application objectively and when in doubt, adcoms will tend to give lower scores as a precaution. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that your application provides the most important, relevant, specific, wanted information [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If there is one cardinal sin of applications, it is lying (false information, overexaggerate, half-truths) Nothing gets your application thrown out faster than lying: about your qualifications, extracurricular activities, personal achievements. There are no benefits from lying on your medical school application. It is dishonest and unforgiveable in the eyes of adcoms. You gain nothing [...]]]></description>

This naturally leads to the question, which extracurricular activities will increase my chances to get into medical school? You might hear from another pre-med that [...]]]></description>
