ditto to UCLAri…GPA and MCAT is a given - you need to have a solid gpa and mcat score.

Everything else is what sets you off from other applicants. A student with a good GPA and MCAT but mediocre ECs probably isn’t that much better off than a student with mediocre GPA and MCAT but good ECs. You really need both and then some to stand out. (prestige of a school probably won’t help either if you’re gpa/mcat isn’t good)

This might give you an idea of the med schools UCLA grads get into (though its from 2005…most recent one I see on that site).
