have a 3.95 unweighted GPA in a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum
rank in the top three percent of their graduating class (if applicable)
have significant medical experience (shadowing physicians, volunteering at a hospital, working for an ambulance corps/EMT program, participating in premedical summer programs, etc.)
are also involved in non-medical activities (music, athletics, leadership, debate, etc.)
perform exceptionally well on standardized tests. Most of our finalists score at least 1450 on the SAT Reasoning Test (out of 1600), or 34 composite on the ACT. (Beginning in 2008-2009, SAT Writing scores will also be taken into account. Strongest consideration will likely be given to students with Writing scores of at least 700.)
earn scores of 700 or higher on select SAT Subject Tests. Although these exams are not required, REMS applicants are strongly encouraged to take two Subject Tests - one in science (biology or chemistry) and one in mathematics (Math IC or IIC).
complete coursework at the highest levels available (honors, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, etc.)
have experience in medical or scientific research）。 最後，醫學院發出麵試通知書的有五十人，最後將要錄取十人。錄取率是1.4%，2%都不到。當我們拿到麵試通知書時，我們就對兒子說，七百人中的五十人等於7%的機率，這足以證明你的實力！兒子也很受鼓舞。
Is this University of Rochester? I know most of kids graduated around Rochester like taking Business vs. Science/Medical. So many of our kids went to work in Wall Street. So, don't worry, we do have kids not taking our steps.
Thank you very much for your post !
Wow ! 你兒子 is so good & handsome !!

It seems to me that our kids are just like us in persuing American dreems:
We (1st generation) took science, they (2nd generation) are taking medical school. Similarity: hard disciplinre without many white students.So in some way, we and they are still "hi-tech" labors! When can we Chinese get out of box?

to me, 本醫連讀 is not not that 競爭慘烈. My niece and daughters of two classmates got it. my niece also got scholarship from U of Penn, but she decided not go since she did not like to be physician at that time. 5 year later she got full scholarship from top 5 medical school again.

等待麵試有些緊張的兒子
位於市中心的醫學院和附屬醫院
那天麵試的五個學生，四位是亞裔
醫學院的課堂
參觀醫院，我差點暈倒在解剖室裏
與醫學院院長座談
陪同孩子來麵試的家長們相談甚歡
