Lizanne CarlsonIf you’re a future medical student, you already know the relief of submitting your primary application. But as soon as it’s in… the secondary applications start rolling in. Your secondaries can make or break your medical school application.
Lizanne CarlsonAre you a pre-med student staring down the medical school application process and wondering: Should I apply to med school now, or take a gap year? The decision can feel overwhelming. Applying too early can lead to a rushed, underprepared application, but waiting without a plan can feel like losing momentum. At GradMissions, we help students make this choice strategically.
Lizanne CarlsonIf you’re applying to law or medical school, chances are you’ve heard this term more times than you can count. And while the idea is comforting—it implies you’re more than your numbers—the truth is, holistic admissions is often misunderstood. As former admissions professionals, we want to demystify what really goes on behind the scenes, and what you can do to stand out in a holistic review process.

MCAT test-takers are reporting burnout before secondaries even begin. Online forums are a constant swirl of panic, peer comparison, and ever-changing timelines.
