Med School Application Prep at University of South Carolina

Pre-Professional Advising at the University of South Carolina is again offering its annual APEX five-day, residential camp to assist pre-med students craft their application to medical school.

APEX is an intense preparation program for med school applicants. It is also an opportunity for a trip to the gross anatomy lab at the USC School of Medicine Columbia, shadowing in the hospitals, and learning strategies about how to make your application accentuate your experiences in your best light. The application prep portion includes a comprehensive application overview (AMCAS/AACOMAS), personal statement workshop and practice, interview skills workshop, two simulated, lifelike med school interviews for each participant, practice with simulated Multiple Mini Interviews and discussions about current health care issues.

Throughout the entire five days there will be two current medical students available to offer advice, serve as resources, and share their experiences. This camp will help highly-motivated students learn how to showcase their abilities, skills, and enthusiasm throughout the application process to med school.
