...so I guess the general consensus is that an EMT cert is useful depending on how you use it and what you make of it. Yes?
Yes!! don't get it just to have it and say you do. You need to use it in order for it to add a new level to your application. But remember, you have to have many good qualities and experiences to be a good med school candidate. EMT work alone will not do it, you need to balance it with other stuff, good grades, community services, etc. Cater your application to what you like to do and when you have time to do it. If finding a way to become an EMT, and then finding time to have a job does not work for you, then no big deal, find something else that does. Med schools don't necessarily rank possible EC activities, everyone has different goals and opportunities, do what works for you. They wanna see that you care about what you have chosen to do, so make that show through.
