have a 3.95 unweighted GPA in a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum
rank in the top three percent of their graduating class (if applicable)
have significant medical experience (shadowing physicians, volunteering at a hospital, working for an ambulance corps/EMT program, participating in premedical summer programs, etc.)
are also involved in non-medical activities (music, athletics, leadership, debate, etc.)
perform exceptionally well on standardized tests. Most of our finalists score at least 1450 on the SAT Reasoning Test (out of 1600), or 34 composite on the ACT. (Beginning in 2008-2009, SAT Writing scores will also be taken into account. Strongest consideration will likely be given to students with Writing scores of at least 700.)
earn scores of 700 or higher on select SAT Subject Tests. Although these exams are not required, REMS applicants are strongly encouraged to take two Subject Tests - one in science (biology or chemistry) and one in mathematics (Math IC or IIC).
complete coursework at the highest levels available (honors, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, etc.)
have experience in medical or scientific research)。 最后,医学院发出面试通知书的有五十人,最后将要录取十人。录取率是1.4%,2%都不到。当我们拿到面试通知书时,我们就对儿子说,七百人中的五十人等于7%的机率,这足以证明你的实力!儿子也很受鼓舞。
Is this University of Rochester? I know most of kids graduated around Rochester like taking Business vs. Science/Medical. So many of our kids went to work in Wall Street. So, don't worry, we do have kids not taking our steps.
Thank you very much for your post !
Wow ! 你儿子 is so good & handsome !!

It seems to me that our kids are just like us in persuing American dreems:
We (1st generation) took science, they (2nd generation) are taking medical school. Similarity: hard disciplinre without many white students.So in some way, we and they are still "hi-tech" labors! When can we Chinese get out of box?

to me, 本医连读 is not not that 竞争惨烈. My niece and daughters of two classmates got it. my niece also got scholarship from U of Penn, but she decided not go since she did not like to be physician at that time. 5 year later she got full scholarship from top 5 medical school again.
