MSY 007: How This Student Got Into Ohio State Med School Without a Gap Year

Session 07

Meet RJ, a now second-year medical student at The Ohio State University College of Medicine who was accepted without taking a gap year. In this episode of The Med School Years, RJ shares how he transitioned from a small, Catholic university (Notre Dame) to a large state school, and how staying organized helped him navigate the med school application process.

He reflects on how his two minors, Latino Studies and History, shaped his path to medicine and strengthened his application. RJ also discusses his early clinical experiences, interview prep strategies, leadership roles, and his growing interest in surgical subspecialties like orthopedics and plastic surgery. Above all, he highlights the power of community and collaboration at Ohio State.
