Also keep in mind that you want to try and work on research projects at those electives that can end up getting you published. Find places to work at that publish a lot of papers a year, and try to get clinical experience on the side while there, or vice versa. You can always help out to do research even if you're there as a clinical student.

Just remember that things like electives, experience, and publications have a huge effect in separating you from the rest of the applicants.
