Direct BS/MD programs are now using a “holistic” approach to the selective review process. In simple terms, this means admissions committees look at more than SAT scores and GPAs when deciding who would be a strong fit and an accepted applicant.
As more students apply to direct BS/MD programs, these non-academic factors matter even more. Your experiences, communication skills, emotional intelligence, and personal qualities can help you stand out from applicants with similar grades and test scores. That’s why Dr. Paul Lowe advises his clients that it is important to tell a clear, honest story about what you have learned and what perspective you would bring to the program and medicine.
Many applicants have similar activities on their résumés, such as high school clubs, volunteering, shadowing and research. To make these experiences stand out, Dr. Lowe advises his clients to focus on what he calls your “Character Quotient” and experiences as they relate to your personal development and relationships. Even if other students have similar backgrounds and achievements, the way you explain your experiences and reflect on them can help admissions committees understand why you belong there.
