For a more fair assessment of the risk, it would be better to know the percentage of Princeton students who start of as premeds as freshmen and get accepted to med schools after four years. I suspect this number is much lower than 92%. As many have described in this forum, it is difficult being a premed. There is a natural weeding-out process and a high percentage of students do drop out. For instance, if 50% of students drop out from being premed, the admission rate is 0.5*0.92 = 46%. If 2/3 drop out (not inconceivable), that percent goes down to 31%. |
