Boonshoft names its criteria as a list: evidence of intellectual ability, dedication to human concerns, communication skills, maturity, motivation, and potential for medical service in an under-served area of Ohio. The committee assesses academic load and curriculum alongside GPA and MCAT, so a demanding schedule is read, not just the number it produced. The school also states outright that a broad appreciation of people and their social, cultural and artistic efforts matters as much as science preparation, which makes a non-science background an asset rather than something to explain away.

Watch out: No service to underserved Ohio communities misses the single most specific thing the committee says it looks for. A high GPA earned on a light schedule is discounted, since course load is assessed separately.
