Strong academics (average 3.94 GPA / 519 MCAT) balanced with real community involvement and leadership; Baylor explicitly frames mission fit as essential, not just a tiebreaker.

Watch out: High stats alone without demonstrated cultural competency or community involvement is treated as an incomplete application here, since Baylor names mission fit as an essential criterion.
