<p>I would totally go for the one with the most passion.</p>
<p>I've gotten very jaded about medical school admissions since I began to take upper-division biology classes with medical students (many course 9 classes are joint with HST, the Harvard/MIT MD/PhD program in Health Sciences and Technology). </p>
<p>Medical students, even ones at an elite medical school like HMS, ask D-U-M-B questions at an alarming frequency. (And yes, there are stupid questions.) And I guess that's just how it goes -- the medical school admissions process selects very well for people who are good at acing standardized tests and grade-grubbing. Some of the people who get great standardized test scores and grades are actually brilliant. Many of them are just memorize-and-spit-backers.</p>
<p>To be honest, it makes me a little nervous to go to the doctor when I hear some of the things that come out of these ultra-elite medical students' mouths.</p>
