Are You Actually Ready to Apply This Cycle?

Every application cycle, we hear the same question from pre-meds. Am I ready to apply?

In this week’s conversation, Rob  and Ryan unpack what readiness actually means and why applying without a clear plan can hurt your chances, even if your stats look solid.

They talk through some of the most common blind spots they see every year, including:

• Why being on the fence is often your answer
  
• What a realistic MCAT retake can and cannot do
  
• How shallow clinical experience shows up in applications
  
• Why underestimating application costs leads to bad decisions
  
• The potential consequences of rushing an application
  

If you feel pressure to apply because your friends are applying, your family expects it, or you are just ready to be done with this phase of life, this is a good moment to pause before you submit.
