The PreMed Blueprint: Volume 2

The PreMed Blueprint was written by me, a first-year medical student at UCSF interested in providing affordable resources to aspiring doctors. The second guide in this series details the qualities of a strong medical school applicant and how to prove to medical school admissions, through involvement in extracurricular activities, that you possess these qualities. In this guide, I include examples of the activities I participated in as a premed student, and I explain the impact of my role within these activities. Future guides will focus on personal statement writing, obtaining letters of recommendation, MCAT studying, and interviews.
