It is important to note the medical students' applications for medical schools were all well on their way to applying long before Covid-19 restrictions came into effect. So what are the possible explanations for this uncertain event?

One hypothesis is the premedical students who take time after completing their undergraduate degrees to support their applications. Students can strengthen their applications by including research experience, volunteering and shadowing. But due to the pandemic most opportunities were canceled. The same restrictions have also prevented some students from applying during the 2020-2021 application cycle.

Another hypothesis is the transition to virtual interviews that may have removed a financial barrier for some applicants. Applying to medical school is costly enough, virtual interviews in comparison are free and it is an opportunity to save some money.

The application for medical admission in Poland for the current year has dropped significantly. The transition to online curriculum left many students feeling disoriented. Instructors were equally unprepared and were leading to a less than the higher standard learning environment for students. Students during the pandemic who experienced drop in academic performance were coping with stress, social isolation, unemployment and concern about their health.
