....because a 6-hour long MCAT surely would have done me in.

My opinion? Medical schools should DEFINITELY consider an applicant's perspective on ethics and society when making their admissions decisions. However, those qualities seem difficult to elucidate in a standardized exam format. I vouch, instead, for the inclusion of ethics-based questions on written applications and interviews (a large majority of the schools that I apply to already did this, so including it on the MCAT also seems a bit redundant). And really, medical school admissions universe, don't you put pre-med kids through enough already?
