Rumor has it that the admissions committee didn’t weigh MCAT/GPA as highly in the past. Numbers were weighted more heavily for the current MS-1 and MS-2 as a way to increase step 1 score in response. Curriculum is well aware of the need to teach toward step 1 and there was a recent hire of a medical school curriculum dean toward this goal.
Remember though that step 1 is driven by the individual more than the school, exactly like how the MCAT was more about your personal study skills than the university you had attended!
