      Acing the Medical School Admission Process - Dr. Paul Toote

      review.

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      Dr. Paul Toote became a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine in 2001, after graduating from Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, where he was both a class president as well as Graduation Class Dinner Speaker.  He was certified as an Emergency Medicine Physician by the American Osteopathic Board of Emergency Medicine in 2009 and was also the recipient of the Highest Achievement Award from the Dale Carnegie Effective Communications and Human Relations Course.

      While serving as an Emergency Medicine Physician at leading hospitals and medical centers in communities all across Texas, including Corpus Christi, Amarillo, San Antonio, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and Paris, Dr. Toote found he was energized by coaching trained residents and medical school students and helping them reach their professional goals. 

      Wishing to do more to help those with medical ambitions, he began National Premed Consulting to share his expertise and insider knowledge with those who have the necessary qualifications, capabilities and desire to successfully navigate the difficult demands of medical school.  He regularly speaks on this topic to college and high school audiences and consults one-on-one with clients as well.

      Dr. Toote resides in McKinney, Texas and is married with two children.

      INTRODUCTION

      Many people dream of becoming a doctor – and the key word in that statement is many.

      The competition for admission to medical school is incredible.  There are only 159 medical schools in America as of this writing – and over half of all the applicants to those schools are rejected every year.

      Why do those applicants fail to get admitted?  Is it their grades?  Their test scores?  Surprisingly, academics frequently have little to do with the medical schools’ decision-making process. 

      Obviously, to be a viable candidate for medical school, you have to display high academic achievement as an undergraduate student – but most applicants are aware of that requirement and fulfill it.  Therefore, the medical schools often have to choose between students with similar educational credentials.

      What then makes the difference?

      Even though I had successfully gone through the process myself, I still didn’t know the answer.  Was I just lucky enough to have done all the right things?  I was curious enough to want to know why I had succeeded when most of the other applicants had failed; especially since, the fact was that many of them had good grades and good scores just like I
