<p>^ I suspect the students who are qualified to be in this program need to have some “desirable” attributes. Whatever these attributes are, they are generally not academic merit based in the broad sense.</p>
<p>Last year a very top texas public medical school had to explain why one of their admitted students has a MCAT score of 24 or something when their average MCAT score for admitted students is much higher (almost 10 points higher). I heard it was because of JAMP.</p>
<p>My guess is that its criteria may be much lower than that of Quesridge (sp?), as the medical community needs students of special background/life experiences, more than top colleges need the students of a similar background. The challenging part is whether they classify you as being belong to the group of students they want.s</p>
