<p>I’m not sure about that. If you want to get into a statistical argument, then I would point out that Berkeley’s acceptance rate may have little to do with how med schools view Berkeley and more to do with the fact that Berkeley students happen to be better than the average student, and specifically, how they are probably going to get higher MCAT scores than the average student nationwide. That seems to be a far more plausible explanation.</p>
<p>The REAL question to me is how Berkeley premeds do relative to the premeds of schools with equivalent-quality student bodies.</p>
<p>But anyway, if you want to get into a statistical discussion, then I would surmise that there is little reason to reject the ‘null hypothesis’, that Berkeley is a superior school to go to if you want to do premed. Hence, choosing Berkeley because you think it is going to help you to get into med school is probably a premise with insufficient foundation. I wish there was strong evidence that indicated that Berkeley would help you. But there probably isn’t.</p>
