[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]T10 med school admissions. Pick a school strong in the sciences with opportunities to be a leader, be of service to others, work with patients, and do research. Get mostly As. And importantly, build relationships w professors and community leaders who will write letters for you. Explore sufficiently to be sure that medicine is really what you want, and be prepared to explain why. Remember that medicine is above all a service profession. [/quote]

This is great advice.  DS got into med school from our state flagship.  Large classes, difficult to stand out in large science classes etc.  But, got involved in a couple of research projects (a great way to do research and to get to know professors), volunteered, got a lot of clinical experience and shadowed doctors .  Most importantly, he spent his first three years of college getting experiences that allowed him to explore different aspects of being in a field that is dedicated to the service of others.  
It is also important to get a good MCAT score.  [/quote]
