I wonder if they weed people out based on pre-reqs completed. I have heard that a lot of students apply with maybe 3 pre-reqs in progress when I heard that here they require 80% completed before the application is submitted. For those students admitted, would you mind sharing GPA, etc. I am applying this upcoming cycle and want to know how to separate myself with so many qualified applicants. I was curious if schools like UCSF hold the GRE scores and pre-reqs completed to strict standards?
