<p>sakky,</p>
<p>Again, just looking at median admit (on some of the FAQs), you find that most programs are saying that at least 2 years of serious research experience and some clinical experience is the norm.</p>
<p>Yes, I've met people with killer stats who haven't gotten into places, but you yourself say that med school is mostly a numbers game. And it is. </p>

Med-school admissions, particularly at the top schools, also hinges on "well-roundedness" as well as clinical medical experience. However, MD/PhD admissions consider these things to be far less important, instead keying on people's research skills.

<p>Besides, who says that clinical experience is more "well-rounded?" I know people who got into med school without the clinical experience, but had some killer research as an undergrad.</p>
