<p>Having some experience with medical school admissions at a top school I can tell you that admissions will be very “holistic” and much like admissions to top colleges. They are looking for passionate scholars, athletes, musicians, computer geeks, engineers, artists, actors, writers to make up their class. Once again, most top medical schools are made up of lop-sided individuals who did things in college that truly interested them including extracurricular activities that are “consistent” with the applicant’s interests…and as JHS noted, some are truly interested in biological sciences…nothing wrong with that.</p>
<p>…despite what you study or major in…your humanity MUST show through in your essays and application…because they don’t want to produce doctors who ONLY want to become wealthy…</p>
<p>…if that is the case, I would strongly think twice about going to medical school…there are easier ways without getting heavily into debt…</p>
