From what I understand, they key to getting into a medical school involves four parameters:
1. Very good MCAT
2. Very good GPA
3. Have the extracurriculars, shadowing, references, etc.
4. Not be an ass during the interview.
I know of a certain school in the country where 100% of the pre-med class gets accepted into medical school. They have reasonably good GPAs, average extracurriculars, shadowing, references, etc. They do well in the interview because they are very pleasant and super-courteous White males.
Their MCATs average around 24. And yet 100% of their class gets in. Most people get either a 22, 23 or 25 MCAT score, which I am told is a VERY depressing score.
This is a small school in Utah and 100% of the accepted class has served a two-year Mormon mission. They get accepted to schools all over the country, some of the very best schools too.
How do people get into schools of their choice with a 22 or 24 MCAT score?
Am I missing something? Is there another parameter that I am not considering?
Thank you.
