Many people say the writing sample is not at all important, especially if you have a good verbal score and a well written essay on your aamc application. Obviously you want to do well on the writing sample, but it's not terribly important, is what most people say.
Where do you get this from? Does anyone have a reliable source that this is the truth? i.e., they heard it from an admissions officer at a top med school? The fact that this notion is so widespread does not necessarily mean it is the truth. I am not saying that I personally know one way or the other, but I would like someone to verify what most people regard as an indisputable fact.
Thanks,
David
