Getting into med school

So there’s this idea that if you admit to being religious, you won’t get into med school. I don’t think I’m the only one who’s ever had this idea, but I have recently had the pleasure of having it entirely disproven. God not only came up, but was a major discussion point in my interviews with two of the three schools that offered me spots. One board even got me going for several minutes on the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas. Tell you what to avoid though: there was only one interview that covered abortion. And there was only one school that turned me down outright after the interview.
