Numerous premedical clients have contacted me with their MCAT scores and GPA asking me the fated question, "Do I have a chance of getting into medical school?"

It determines whether you receive a secondary application or not.
Unfortunately, there is no special formula to medical school admissions.

Grades/MCATs are important but do not forget about the extracurriculars.
Medical School Admissions committees want to know you are well-rounded.
