Here are some factors that the LLUSM admissions committee considers when evaluating applicants:
* Academic qualifications: Applicants must have a strong academic foundation in science, math, and the liberal arts. They should also have a high GPA and MCAT scores.
* Personal qualities: The admissions committee looks for applicants who are compassionate, ethical, and service-oriented. They also value applicants who have demonstrated leadership and teamwork skills.
* Mission fit: LLUSM is a Seventh-day Adventist institution, and the admissions committee gives preference to applicants who are committed to the Adventist faith and lifestyle.
While being a Seventh-day Adventist can provide some advantages in terms of cultural and religious fit, it does not guarantee admission to LLUSM. All applicants, regardless of religious affiliation, must demonstrate that they have the academic qualifications and personal qualities necessary to be successful in medical school.
