How does the committee weigh GPA, test scores, research experience, and other criteria in their admissions decisions?
We do not have a specific point system for each component of the application. The committee examines each application as a whole, and considers the applicant based on the interviews as well as the applicant’s documentation. GPA and MCAT scores may reflect certain aspects of the applicant’s performance, aptitude, and abilities, but we also look at the individual’s life experiences, commitment to research, interests, and the inclination and capacity to pursue a rigorous program of study required to complete the dual degrees. We look for students with substantial research experience, including reflected in a certain level of autonomy, understanding of the process of research, and depth of knowledge.
