srl5794:
My take: To get the interview... 1. Step 1 2. 3rd year clerkship grades, and more specifically grades in specialty you will be entering 3. AOA status 4. Letters of rec 5. Research/publications (more important if related to the specialty which you are applying to) 6. Basic science grades 7. Personal statement After you get the interview, the most important thing is how well you interview. Please note that in some instances an away rotation at a program may help overcome some of these deficiencies.

I personally agree with srl5794. Step 1, grades, SOP, all come under scanner
