Understood, but exactly the same thing is true of all kinds of graduate programs. It’s nothing specific to medicine.



Medicine and law are two graduate professional schools where admissions is much more numbers driven and more transparent than other programs.

Especially PhD programs where evaluations can be very subjective considering LORs are the most important factor in the application and where assessments of a student’s “seriousness/commitment” to the field and “collegiality” often count just as much/more than their GPA/GRE scores so long as some unwritten minimum threshold is exceeded.
