What do I Need, and How do I Apply?

Candidates who are interested in applying to medical school must be currently enrolled in their third year of study or must have completed an undergraduate degree by the time they apply to medical school. Many schools also look for non-academic activities when selecting candidates such as strong community volunteer pursuits and participation in extra-curricular activities.
