Medical school applications take a long time to complete. From completing the actual application and building the ultimate application narrative to completing other essays and engaging recommenders, the entire process is a marathon, not a sprint.
How much time you really need depends on several variables, including how many schools you’re applying to, your writing proficiency, and your busy schedule.
