Inside the Mind of a Medical School Application Expert | ft. Alejandro Cañas, CEO of MTM

Hey everyone! In this episode I interview a medical application expert, MS5 at UCI SOM, and long time mentor of mine, Alejandro Cañas. He has helped hundreds of premeds get into the dream medical schools and is the CEO of Market the Mission, a company that helps premeds with their application every step of the way. We get into juicy trends he has noticed over the years such as: What’s something about getting into medical school that most premeds are completely wrong about? Have you ever seen a “perfect” applicant get rejected? Why do you think that happens? In your experience, what do you think carries the most weight in a medical school application? If someone is about to apply this cycle, what is the ONE thing you would tell them to focus on right now? I hope you enjoy this episode and make sure to follow Alejandro on Instagram if you are interested in working with him! https://www.instagram.com/theogpremed?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==
