Applying for Medical School: Writing a Letter of Intent in Five Steps

6/27/2017

0 Comments

 
Edward Chang reports:

"If you want to inform a certain medical school that they are your top choice, you must write (now usually through email) them a letter of intent. The letter of intent is important because medical schools want to accept applicants that will actually attend their school. If they know that they are your top choice, they are more likely to accept you. This letter should communicate why you want to attend that school and why you would be a good fit. It should be formal, specific, and direct. This letter cannot be generic. You can write letters of intent to multiple schools if necessary[.] If you have any advocates...that is helpful as well...Try to limit your letter to one page...You need to communicate with the people making the decisions. Do your research and figure out who is the dean or director of admissions. Use the correct titles and spellings when addressing your letter. Also, if there was a particular interviewer who you really clicked with, you should include him or her on the cc line as well...[Introduce yourself and get to the point by saying something like this:] My name is John Doe and I am [a] current applicant to Best University School of Medicine. I interviewed on December 1st. I am writing this letter for two purposes. My first purpose is to reiterate that Best University School of Medicine is my top choice for medical school and explain why I am a good fit for the school. Second[ly], I want to update you on any new accomplishments that may not be in my current file...Give legitimate reasons why you would attend this school over any other school. Include any memorable moments from your interview. If you really enjoyed your time with your interviewer, mention that as well. There might be aspects of the school that would really mesh with your personality or learning style. You can talk about the vision, mission, or certain emphasis of the school and how it resonates with you. Ultimately, you need to explain what makes you a distinct candidate that will fit into their school. Highlight some accomplishments that may make you unique...Include any newsworthy updates that would not be in your primary or secondary application and update letters. You can also talk about your upcoming plans. You can include things like a new research publication, leadership endeavors, and accomplishments at your job or volunteer place...Give a final statement that reiterates your interest. Thank them and express how you look forward to the rest of the admissions process. Use a professional closing such as sincerely or best wishes. You should be aggressive when it comes to contacting schools and writing letters of intent. If you are really interested in one school, it is acceptable and helpful to write multiple letters of intent to that school. A good guideline would be to send a letter once a month. Just make sure that each letter is unique and informative."
