Why doesn't Trinity require the MCAT? GPA must be weighed much more heavily as a result, no? Any other tests Trinity looks at?

It's an American exam (AAMC). Very few schools in Europe ask for the MCAT.

From my experiences with Trinity, I believe they only look at GPA.

for Trinity, the most important thing is well-roundedness, which can be gotten from an well-written personal statement as well as your cv. They like to see people who have done unique extracurriculars, as well as research. Good grades help, MCAT isn't really factored in.

unique experiences also includes higher degrees in interesting fields.
