I applied to too many schools on the AMCAS and I'm trying to prune about 5 secondaries. Which schools do you think are really stats heavy (GPA and MCAT) and tend to care less about ECs, research, etc? The only one I'm aware of with that reputation Wash U. Thanks so much!

Take a look at the spreadsheet in this thread. The schools near the top are the most stats-intensive.

I want to take that spreadsheet to dinner and a movie.

My advisor told me NYU only cares about numbers. Don't know if that's true or not, you know advisors.

Something to remember is that while the top schools are stat heavy, they also care a great deal about your ECs. They're looking for people who have incredible numbers AND a diverse range of experiences.

I've heard that as well. I've also heard WashU is very numbers heavy.

I've heard that Tufts puts a big emphasis on numbers.
