SC is of course right, but Chaz does have a point. As nightmarishly arbitrary as medical school is, it is MUCH better than graduate school (which uses the GREs), business school (the GMATs), or undergrad (the SATs), all of which have horrible standardized examinations -- high standard deviations and VERY easy to max out the scale.

The only school with more predictable admissions than medical school (and it is MUCH more) is law school, which also has a pretty good exam. Also a low standard deviation, also hard to max out the score.
