I was wondering what do medical schools look for in potential students? Everyone knows that GPA, MCAT, research experience, volanteering are important but are there more important qualities?
Be an interesting person, and be able to convey it well, both in writing and during the interview. Have a life outside of trying to get into med school.
1. Strong gpa and MCAT.
2. Strong extracurricular activities (be original)
3. Volunteer and Research in the medical setting to prove that the applicant knows what they're getting themselves into.
4. Ability to communicate effectively in person and via writing.
5. Personality! If you don't have one...find one!
i think they are looking for interesting adults and collegues. interesting is key here.
people who have worked with diverse populations. people who are worldly and have done stuff to the max. for example: if you do research, then present it at conferences, etc.
people who are very nice and energetic!!
i think that if you remember when the school was founded that your guaranteed an acceptance
This is coming straight of the mouth of the head of admissions at Tufts.
