Need help: Guide to Researching Medical Schools?

[Arrhenius10]

Hi all!
I am currently researching medical schools that may suit my learning style and philosophy, and of course if I would even get their average MCAT/GPA of their admitting class.
So here's a list of the things I am considering:

a) Tuition
b) Learning Type -- PBL or CSL or ISS or LECTURE BASED
c) GPA
d) MCAT
e) Philosophy/Mission

Do you guys have any idea what else I should be considering? I don't know if I should even consider their match rates since most schools are >90%. Also, if you have any advice to this, please do not hesitate to write them down.


Thanks!

f) Location(some med schools barely accept applicants outside of the state)
g) I guess class size
h) Diversity
i) Requirements(there may be an extra class that is required that you haven't took yet)
That's all I can think of

spend $25 on https://services.aamc.org/msar/, and you'll have most of the information you asked for.

Research opportunities (if that's up your alley)
Curriculum (Traditional vs. Systems-based)

YAS! Funnily enough, I just bought US BEST NEWS. I am applying for the FAP, so hopefully I won't have to buy any of the MSAR or official full length tests.
THANKS ALL!
