understand better matriculated medical students' characteristics to guide the selection of prospective applicants to medical school. In addition, this increased understanding may help college administrators develop strategies to help identify the applicant
who fits with the institutional mission and vision, thus optimizing the student admission process and improving workforce demographics.

medicine. <u>Data will be reported in summary statistics so that no individual identification will be possible.</u> However, you are encouraged to participate and complete the entirety of the survey.
