Yeah, I just wanted you to consider that there were other factors for admissions, even though gpa and mcat are important. I knew two people (3.4/29) and (3.5/27) that got in b/c they have great EC’s, recs, and experience (shadowing/research). Might not be WUSTL or Yale but it was still a medical school (md).

To the OP: If you are serious about medicine, have you considered doing osteopathic(DO) instead of allopathic (MD). The average scores are considerably less than MD (averages I have seen were 24, 3.2/3.3).
