Significant ECs for Medical Schools

Our members don't see this ad.
What are the significant ECs to get into the top medical schools ?

I know GPA and MCAT are the essentials but what are about the ECs ?

What do med schools really look for ?

Volunteer work, clinical exposure and research. Leadership (demonstrated through on campus organizations) is also a plus.
