MIT and Harvard have their rates of acceptance into med school around 50%.



Not sure where you got that statistic.

ACCEPTANCE RATE
National Acceptance Rate 46%
Total MIT Undergraduate Applicants 82%
-Prehealth Advising Service User* 86%
-Acceptance Rate for 3.0 GPAor higher 87%
-Acceptance Rate for 3.3 GPA or higher 95%

I imagine Harvard is similar.

Medical school admission percentages are very misleading. At many colleges, recommendations are only written for those students advising administrators/ professors deem have a relatively high probability of a successful outcome. Students who have little/no chance of acceptance are encouraged to pursue post grad research, courses, and then reassess their likelihood of a favorable application outcome.
