Solid academics clearing UAMS's explicit MCAT floor (500 for residents, 505 for non-residents just to reach secondary review), plus demonstrated compassion and service.
Watch out: Non-resident applicants below the stated 505 MCAT floor are filtered out of secondary review entirely, regardless of the rest of the application.
