Can we please break out of the conformity? There is more to medicine and providing people with care than going to school for 8 years and paying thousands of dollars to become a doctor...
Of course GPA isn't completely irrelevant....but my point is think outside the box for once...creativity is more important....in a lot of ways GPA has become an indication of how good you kiss %++.

Yep....a lot of the best programs look @ the "whole applicant"-meaning extracurriculars, interpersonal skills, work experience, creativity, interview etc but without the numbers you're essentially taking yourself out of the running. So unlike BSmooth is tryna imply no med school don't only look for a high GPA + MCAT scores, but they look for that first because it gives an indication of your ability to handle the material. All the other stuff means nothing if you can't pass the exams and graduate. Dude prolly thinks they send out acceptances to whoever had the highest numbers automatically. Your GPA and standardized test scores at least speaking for med and law is simply an indication of your ability to handle the rigors of med school not "kiss ***" like dude just mentioned.

Creativity goes a long way in many professions....medicine, science, engineering, but if you're too stupid to understand the basics none of that matters. I would hope my civil engineer possesses both brains and creativity-i don't want a bridge that looks nice but will crumble and kill people as soon as someone steps on it. Same goes for medicine, these days most people applying have the "numbers"-they clearly use other factors to decide who they take when all things are equal.
BDW most doctors complain about how much they pay to go to med school because its their way of venting for being overworked
