Other ways to be more competetive

I know the basic ways to make yourself competitive like GPA, test scores and all that. Do schools take prior medical experience into account? Is there somewhere on your application that you get to list your experiences?

Would other certifications make me more competetive?

I have an AS of health sciences.

5 years experience in phlebotomy with experience in children and infants.

5 years working in a CAP inspected lab.

Lab tech certification through George Washington University.

IBCLC.

If they do look at this, how much stock do they put in it when accepting people into the program?

    It really depends on your school......two of the schools I am applying to make their choices based on a point system based 100% on the GPA in your science classes and your entrance exam scores. They do not consider history....references or anything

    the third school considers other things such as reference letters and such.

    If you include a cover letter on your application you can mention those things. All they can do is throw it out if they don't want to read it. I have a topic on giving yourself a leg up in the application process.

    assuming there is some sort of essay and or interview part I would really highlight your past healthcare experience, even if the school does not require previous HC experience.
