Stony Brook's Committee on Admissions describes ability as evident in the academic record, scores on competitive examinations, faculty statements, and extracurricular and work experiences, with motivational and personal characteristics from the application, letters and interview forming a major part of the assessment. The mission names training clinicians and physician-scientists and research that discovers the biology of disease, so research depth counts. All applicants must complete CASPer, making non-cognitive and interpersonal assessment a required, scored step rather than an optional extra.

Watch out: CASPer cannot be skipped or offset by a strong file. Work experience is listed alongside extracurriculars as evidence of ability, so an empty employment history leaves a named category unfilled. No published minimum GPA or MCAT, but reported averages near 3.89 and 517 with about a 5.5% acceptance rate set the real bar.
