Which "top ten" school do you guys think is most lenient on numbers? Also, which schools are more considerable of low gpa/high mcat score?

Isn't that the normal stats for accepted med students? I also think SMW got interviews at U of Wash and was accepted at Columbia with those stats.
As long as you have great ECs (ie something else to offer or set you apart from other applicants other than GPA/MCAT) then you should be competitive at a top 10 school. Though, another factor to consider is your undergraduate school. My stats are in that area and I will be going to University of Michigan in the fall.
I highly suggest that you look through the MSAR, probably available at your college library or pre-med office.
