Getting into Medical School as a Nontraditional Applicant

Getting into medical school is hard, even for students who have been on the premed path since the beginning of college. But for nontraditional students, getting that coveted medical school acceptance letter might seem even more challenging.

In this video, we'll discuss how your background as a nontraditional medical school applicant can actually enhance your candidacy and share strategies to help you maximize your admissions odds.
