Is BS/MD a crapshoot?

i definitely think in some ways it is a crapshoot, because different programs seem to look for different qualities. Some emphasize the stats, and only want a perfect SAT/GPA, some want strong medical ECs, and some want “change the world” type students… At this junction it’s not worth worrying about it, you have an acceptance and a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush! i’ve interviewed at a few places, and still have no clue where i may actually be accepted. Also, just clarification, PSU does not give preference to in-state…most people at their interview were from all over the country…I think this is because Jefferson Medical College doesn’t want to spare the geographic diversity of their medical school… Good luck, and I hope Rice/Baylor works out! :)
