You've got this! Take a deep breath and scroll through our top 3 tips for applying to medical school.  ##### 1. Research, research, research. You've worked hard to get to this point! It's important that you thoroughly research the programs you're applying to and figure out not only if their values and mission align with yours, but whether or not you also meet their application requirements. Everyone is different, and so is every school! An added benefit of this is that researching programs will also help you when it comes time to interview.  ##### 2. Plan ahead and take your time. Procrastinating can be tempting, but staying organized and splitting up your tasks to stay on top of deadlines will smoothly guide you throughout the process. Staying organized will also allow you time to take breaks when needed.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's okay to take a step back to reflect on all of your accomplishments, have a snack, or get some fresh air, and return when you're feeling motivated again.  [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6044591/4691aadd-77e1-434b-a0c6-55647f791a9d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6044591/4691aadd-77e1-434b-a0c6-55647f791a9d) ### Written By: Ashley Farhat, Marketing Associate ## You May Also Like ### [![3 Tips for Your Med School Application](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/hubfs/ar%202025.png) *Aug 11, 2026, 2:25:33 PM | Brigade Resources* More Than Numbers: Inside the 2025 Global Brigades Annual Report](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/more-than-numbers-inside-the-2025-global-brigades-annual-report) ### [![3 Tips for Your Med School Application](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/hubfs/Blog%20photos%20(500%20x%20500%20px)%20(1)-2.png) *Jun 23, 2026, 2:23:56 PM | Leadership* Global Medical Brigades Featured by Shemmassian Academic Consulting](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/global-medical-brigades-featured-by-shemmassian-academic-consulting) ### [![3 Tips for Your Med School Application](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/hubfs/Blog%20photos%20(500%20x%20500%20px)-2.png) *Jun 19, 2026, 11:21:08 AM | Leadership* How ECU Dental Brigades Became Outstanding Student Organization of the Year at Their Campus](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/how-ecu-dental-brigades-became-outstanding-student-organization-of-the-year) [Learn More](https://medical.globalbrigades.org/) [![Global-Brigades-2010-Logo_Med-Res-2](https://blog.globalbrigades.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Global-Brigades-2010-Logo_Med-Res-2.jpg?width=250&height=108&name=Global-Brigades-2010-Logo_Med-Res-2.jpg "Global-Brigades-2010-Logo_Med-Res-2")](https://www.globalbrigades.org/) 1099 E Champlain Dr., Ste A176 , Fresno, California [tel:](tel:) © Global Brigades.
