Smith is exceptionally strong and so is Mount Holyoke. Their rate of acceptance for students who apply are actually around 90% whereas both schools have about ~3% of the graduating class going into med school. That is really high, considering most colleges have <1%. If you think, if their graduating class is of ~600, you will have 18 students going to med school, and just 2 students didn’t get in any med school (which I doubt is the college’s fault). It probably doesn’t seem to be much, but 54% of medical school applicants don’t get in any at all. And seriously? MIT and Harvard have their rates of acceptance into med school around 50%.
