Thanks for your replies. I have some questions that I would like to ask-

-Are there medical school that puts more emphasis on good GPA and MCAT scores?

-Some people say that medical school admission committee wants to see if one has what it takes to learn the rigorous curriculum ? Taking that into mind, how much clinical involvement would be considered enough ? Does all the extra curricular beyond that limit are just to stand up in the competition ?

-Doesn't specializations such as Pathology require less patient interactions?

Thanks again for giving your suggestions!
