<p>Okay, I am kinda getting a headache over the whole factor thing. I know that the best answer to my question is doing one's best, but still, how can I do my best right so that I don't waste time doing the useless stuff? So I ask you to rank the following for me from the most important to the least important. Please add it to your list if you think I omitted something.</p>
<p>-GPA
-AP/IB Scores
-SAT I
-SAT II
-Recs
-Research
-Med related ECs
-Service hours
-Essay
-Math/Science competition awards (national)
-Sports/Musical talent, etc.
-interview
-having a lot of and I mean A LOT OF different ECs</p>
<p>What is the most important? and what is not really important? I know that they're all imporant to some people but what would be the one that would determine my chance of getting into the program?</p>
