Florida frames its whole review around the AAMC Premed Competencies for Entering Medical Students, saying strong applications demonstrate well-rounded excellence in those competencies, particularly the ones supporting the college's missions. It welcomes applicants who show the personal and intellectual characteristics expected of physicians, named as compassion, character, leadership and excellence, and weighs academic performance, MCAT, personal attributes, letters, essays and experiences across medicine, service, leadership and research. Florida residents receive preference, though non-residents are welcomed.

Watch out: About 2,800 completed secondaries produce roughly 135 matriculants, so breadth across the competency set is what separates files rather than any single strength. A record with no leadership or no service leaves a named competency area empty.
