Current Students

The competitive med school applicant needs strong grades and MCAT scores, but also the qualities of compassion, leadership, teamwork, maturity and confidence.  The way to demonstrate these qualities is by being involved in activities in which you apply the qualities.   Do your activities align with these qualities?  Another crucial component of your application is exposure to health care. You must demonstrate that you are knowledgeable about the career.
