<p>does sophie davis take essays into a lot of consideration?</p>
<p>is race/ethnicity also considered during admission process?</p>
<p>is Sophie Davis lenient with the requirements? (like letz say u dont meet the ACT score requirements)</p>
<p>(i just made a new thread becaz no one realized i asked a ques on the "sophie davis" thread)</p>
<ol>
<li>my cousin who was in the program said that they put a heavy emphasis on the essays.<br></li>
<li>I think SD is looking for minorities and that is a huge disadvantage for Asians </li>
<li>Well the SD requirement for the ACT is 25 and I think thye care more about you essasy and EC's than your test scores (but they never hurt)</li>
</ol>

<li>Yes--at least during my interviews, my essays seemed to matter a lot.</li>
<li>Race/ethnicity does not seem to be more important than other characteristics. If you're concerned... come take a look at the current student population. :) They do, however, run a "Bridge to Medicine" program, which teaches sci/math to high school students (not necessarily minorities, but they encourage minorities to join it) and guarantees them an interview (but does not guarantee admission) if they do very well. I could be wrong about the details here, cuz I've only heard about it from other ppl...</li>
<li>To make sure, you should call them and ask if they will take an application that does not meet the requirements.</li>
