WMed names the AAMC Experiences-Attributes-Metrics-Competencies model as the framework it uses to screen, interview and select, which is more specific than the usual holistic-review language and means all four dimensions are scored explicitly. Mission-aligned review covers the breadth and depth of life experiences, skills, personal attributes and academic metrics, and the school lists the personal characteristics it looks for: altruism, accountability, responsibility, duty, honesty, integrity, maturity, respect and the ability to work well with others. Early clinical experience is integrated with scientific education from the start.

Watch out: Both breadth and depth are named, so a file that is narrow or one that is scattered each miss half the standard. Minimum criteria of a 3.0 GPA and 499 MCAT gate the secondary application.
