collegiate,

Perhaps you should look at Amherst’s practice:



…but some “less-qualified” applicants were also successful. (Some reasons why: underrepresented minority status; being from a state with a medical school and a small population; having family connections at a medical school, plain good luck.)

By the way, the Amherst Health Professions Committee supports almost all applicants without reservations even if they are “less-qualified” by our definition. We take no account of MCAT scores in making recommendations, and we support even those whose grades give them little chance of acceptance, as long as we believe (1) they can do the work of medical school, which means getting grades at least in the “C” range in Amherst science courses; and (2) they have the integrity and maturity needed to be a physician.
