I read many threads about Med school admission and how random this process seems to be. I do not think it is that completely random. We do not really know what people with 4.0 GPAs and 40 MCAT scores wrote in their essays and how they behaved on the interviews. They might have written their essays for an hour and sent it in.
The looks matter a lot too. Among some people you can tell that they are smart just looking at them, and some have empty eyes. I can often tell whether a person is an a$$hole just from looking at him/her. I know that it is very judgmental attitude but so far it have worked for me.
I think that a person who really wants to get into med school just have to pay a lot of attention to details of the application. If you have great stats, ECs and got rejected by 15 schools it mean that you have done something wrong in your application process and you need to look back into the application and try to correct your "errata".
