If there was only one getting-into-medicine “principle” (I put that word in quotes on purpose…) I’ve ever taught and used it with my students that made all the difference it would be the one I talk about in the applying for GEMSAS part of the Bootcamp.

The key is, it’s a principle.

This is a confusing word to many people.

And it’s overused and taken completely out of context by many others.

But the one I am talking about is something I have yet to see or even hear about being discussed in any GAMSAT preparation book, course, or forum… and I have seen a small handful of people do it over the years. In most cases, I suspect they did it by accident as it’s not advertised anywhere. And in others, it was outright abused, ruining its effect completely.

It becomes apparent only at this time of the year – when offers are being released.

Here’s an example:

Yesterday I spoke to a GAMSAT candidate who, unfortunately, didn’t know this principle. He contact us because he was confused as to why he didn’t get an offer.

He wanted to get into Griffith.

He had a high enough GAMSAT score (67) and a near-perfect GPA (about 6.9). 

But received no interview from Griffith, and sure enough, no offers either.

Then there was our Bootcamper Melanie, who did apply this principle and sent us the following email over the weekend:

Melanie had the exact same GAMSAT score and a lower GPA yet received not only an interview but an offer as well.

When I explained this to the poor guy on the phone, he was stinging. 

All that hard work and he missed out because of a mistake at the application process. 

I think the way he described it was “depressing.”

Especially since it’s a principle anyone can use. And, in fact, the less you know about the application process now, and the newer you are to GAMSAT, probably the better it will work, now that I think about it.

More:

I suspect that some candidates do know about this principle but refuse to use it.

Probably, they see it as something not to do, and possibly even as pessimistic or amateur.

Or, it could be they fear using it.

Because according to conventional thinking about applications it “shouldn’t be done” at all. And yet, by doing this one thing, this one thing alone, with certain GAMSAT scores and GPAs, I’ve seen people get interviews and offer who probably shouldn’t.

So much so that I always use it.

But again, be cautious:

This application principle is so simple, you may be tempted to ignore it.

If that’s what you choose to do, then you do so at your own risk.
