Medical school applications are evaluated through a holistic review process, considering multiple components:
1.Academic Performance: GPA and MCAT scores are critical indicators of an applicant's academic capability. Schools look for strong performance in upper-level science courses and competitive MCAT scores
2.Extracurricular Activities: Involvement in leadership roles, research, community service, and clinical exposure is essential to demonstrate personal initiative and understanding of the medical field
3.Personal Statement and Essays: These provide insight into the applicant's motivations and alignment with the school's mission
4.Letters of Recommendation: Offer third-party perspectives on the applicant’s character and suitability for a medical career
5.Interviews: Assess interpersonal skills and fit with the school's culture
