Happy Podcast Wednesday!

This week I had a great guest, Christine Crispen, former Dean of Admissions at UC Irvine. She is now at Keck School of Medicine.

We had a great discussion about the number one reason premeds don't get into medical school (hint - it's not your MCAT score or GPA).

We dug into what you need to do if you don't get into medical school. What steps do you need to take to improve your application? How do you figure out where you went wrong? We cover it!
