Admitted? Where is everyone?

Well, I guess I would want to know if calling WLU a pre-med “weed out” school is anything more than hearsay. Not that I disagree that it could be a weed out school, but I guess I’m just wondering about the basis for that claim. Measuring “pre med” stats in general I would imagine would be tough, given that many folks don’t actually formally declare pre med as the intention and may indeed have transcripts that look more in the end like arts than sciences. The required courses in general for med school are challenging, so I’d call it a “weed out” major regardless of where it is pursued. WLU isn’t a weed out school overall, and has one of the highest graduation rates, so at least those students opting not to pursue medical school can still expect to graduate with a degree from a highly respected institution.
