Commitment to primary care in underserved New York communities, plus a background the school explicitly seeks to bring into medicine. CUNY's dual mission is making medical education accessible to students historically underrepresented in medicine and training physicians for underserved and Health Professional Shortage Area communities. It states it uses no legacy preferences or athletic hooks, so service commitment and academic preparation carry the weight.

Watch out: An applicant oriented toward a competitive subspecialty with no primary-care or community-service history is mismatched against a school whose stated output is HPSA primary care.
