[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious how people think someone on the college sports team factors into this. As far as the EC stuff outside grades/mcat.[/quote] Former experience in admissions. It does not factor. The ECs they care about are the ones that relate to impacting the community/showing you care about others. I suppose if being an athlete somehow led one to medicine that could be an interesting factor for the personal statement and in interviews, but nothing more. Community ECs and research would still be needed. That being said there were some recruited athletes in my med school class. Very few--less than 5%. Many of us were athletic/had athletic hobbies such as long distance running or triathalons, but that was not a part of the application. Med students tend to lean active/health conscious. [/quote]
