[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, DS has 3 years of clinical exp - started working in a hospital freshman year and continued each year and summers. But sounds like folks are saying that’s not enough. [/quote]

What undergrad, and is there any science research? and what is the STEM gpa, not the overall? Mine is at a top 10 and they have an entire system for getting students in, most of it availible on campus or on the med campus. A 3.9 if it is also a stem 3.9, with that mcat, 1.5-2 full years of science research and also clinical experience that has allowed hands on(EMT, etc): they all get in to top-25 med schools. 
They show the premeds charts with gpa and mcat from this undergrad. 3.6s get in somewhere, usually with a couple yrs off but still. 
This undergrad says as long as there are no C's, and they follow the med advising plan of research as well as intense clinical experience, not just dabbling here and there for 500 hours, they get in somewhere in the US. The ones with Cs usually spin off to take an extra year/post bac or so and then more than half of them get in eventually. The ones with a 3.9-science and 515+ go straight in to med school all the time, unless they choose an extra year(such as a fellowship to study abroad or something similar). [/quote]
