<p>I was just wondering what the E.C.s of an average person (medical/non-medical related) who is admitted to medical school are. I understand it is subjective as to what “average” is, but I’m not asking for a precise amount but rather an estimation. </p>
<p>Obviously I plan on doing all I can and wish to be above average, but I’m asking this mainly out of curiosity.</p>

<p>That should get you started on your checklist… lol.</p>
<p>Oh yeah…and NOT a cookie-cutter applicant. Which means all of that stuff above doesn’t matter. (They’re just some possible guidelines.)</p>
<p>Hah, well it looks like I have my work cut out for me. </p>
<p>Thanks for the response, it should provide some good guidance.</p>
