Accepted Admissions Blog

Getting accepted to medical school is hard enough in any given cycle. But this year, med schools are seeing a massive increase in the number of applicants. It’s being attributed to “The Fauci Effect,” as so many people have been inspired by frontline healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic that they’re choosing to pursue a career in medicine. 

With 18% more applicants in play, your chances of acceptance naturally diminish. That’s why we’re hosting a live Q&A to help you get prepared for the unique challenges of this application cycle. On Wednesday, March 10th at 5pm PT/8pm ET, we hope you’ll join us for Get Accepted to Medical School During an Application Surge. 

The Q&A will be moderated by Accepted founder and CEO Linda Abraham and feature a panel of three expert med school consultants: Cydney Foote, Dr. Barry Rothman, and Dr. Herman Gordon. This session will provide you with actionable guidance on how to approach your application with the goal of making yourself stand out from the competition. It’s free to attend, but registration is required.
