HAH!

I found where I'd put it:

There were 5,138 completed applications for the August 2008 entering class. Annually, Harvard Medical School interviews between 800-1000 applicants for a class of 165.


The Committee on Admissions evaluates applications based on several factors, including:

* Academic Records
* Applicant's essay
* Medical College Admission Test scores
* Extracurricular activities
* Summer Occupations
* Life experiences
* Experience in the health field, including research or community work
* Letters of evaluation

Required Courses
1. Biology: one year with laboratory experience. Courses taken should deal with the cellular and molecular aspects as well as the structure and function of living organisms.
2. Chemistry: two years with laboratory experience. Full year courses in general (or inorganic) and organic chemistry generally meet this requirement. A one semester course in organic chemistry which covers the relevant material supplemented by a semester course in biochemistry may substitute for the traditional year of organic chemistry. We will consider other options that adequately prepare students for the study of biochemistry and molecular biology in medical school.
3. Physics: one year. Advanced placement credits which enable a student to take an upper level course may be used to meet one semester of this requirement.
4. Mathematics: one year of calculus. Advanced placement credits may satisfy this requirement (Calculus AB - 1 semester, Calculus BC - 2 semesters). A course in statistics does not meet this requirement.
5. Expository Writing: one year. Writing skills are important for the study and practice of medicine. This requirement may be met with any non-science courses that involve substantial experience in expository writing. Advanced placement credits cannot be used to satisfy this requirement.
6. Additional requirements for the HST Program: Requirements are the same as above except that calculus including differential equations and one year of calculus-based physics in college are required. A course in biochemistry is strongly encouraged before matriculation.

I'm not ambitious or anything. Nope. Not me.

Okay, now let's see a sample of your handwriting to see if you're *really* doctor material! XD

I have a hard time wrapping my head around the thought that they think writing skills are important, yet you can never read a doctor's penmanship on scripts. Only once in my life have I ever run into a competent doctor (the specialist who did my knee surgery), whose writing you could actually easily read. ^____^

I have excellent penmanship. When you don't ask me to write it in cursive. That's as crappy looking as any doctor you can find. ^__~ But my handwriting is verra small. I can fit three lines of written text to each line of college-rule paper, and four lines of text per wide-rule paper.

Well, if your writing is so small people can't read it, that might count as doctor-like illegible scrawl. =D
