Hey tahdah, I'm posting because I'm concerned about your mentality. This is the second thread you've started that seems to be rather frantic about selection criteria. For some perspective, please check out the statistics here:

or buy this book, the MSAR:

Here is some info regarding the University of Washington-
Of the accepted applicants for 2007:
The average overall GPA was
3.7
The average science GPA was
3.7
And the average MCAT was an 11,10,11, Q.
There were 1,097 applicants. 732 received interviews, and 176 were accepted.
A very good friend of mine applied this last cycle. He/She received around 5 acceptances, but was not accepted to UW as an in-state candidate. She had a 3.98 GPA from a very well-respected, private university along with excellent ECs and the same MCAT as the average for accepted candidates. Out of 1,000 applicants, they certainly received innumerable +3.9 GPAs, but those accepted averaged 3.7. This should mean something to you.
Shadow a Physician if you haven't already, meditate on the experience, and then gain some confidence and a realistic perspective in regards to the process. I see too many pre-meds who are so obsessed with whether or not they can become a doctor, they don't think about whether or not they should.
Please don't feel that I'm demeaning you in any way, it's just that I went through this same period of self-doubt [a B in Physics --in my defense, we have a really hard physics class . . . ] and I'm hoping to save you from that experience.
In short, there's nothing you can do to gain acceptance into these schools but your very best. That includes pursuing interests outside of medicine and having confidence in yourself.
