Community engagement in and commitment to Western New York, held alongside solid academics. Jacobs states that its selection criteria are aligned with the curriculum, the mission, community health needs and the needs of the physician workforce, and that academic performance and MCAT are assessed in the context of life experiences and background, integrity, intellectual curiosity, leadership roles and community engagement. The Admissions Selection Subcommittee is charged with assembling a class that matches the school's mission and diversity goals, and the school ties diversity directly to the health of Western New York communities and to addressing healthcare disparities.

Watch out: Metrics with no community engagement behind them are explicitly not how this class is assembled. As a SUNY school, out-of-state applicants without New York ties face a structural disadvantage.
