Spot checking for Carleton… (and apologies if i misunderstood any of the above…)
The college states that about 50 students apply each year to med school.
Elsewhere they state their acceptance rate is between 77% and 82%.
That implies around 40 Carls a year go to med school. Dividing that both the average number of graduating students from the most recent CDS (496) gives a rate of ~8%. That’s 8x their number in the original table and double the #1 school (JHU). I don’t mean to imply that Carleton has the highest med school matriculant rate, I’m sure JHU and many others are way off too; rather, I mean to highlight how misleading metrics based off LinkedIn searches can be. I trust the NSF’s data on undergrad origin of PhD earners because they actively monitor and publish that information, but I’m not aware of a similar authority doing the same for med schools (please forgive me if I just haven’t seen). As such, I personally think it’s wiser just to look at what each college says, though some are far more transparent than others.
Fwiw, I don’t think Carleton will qualify for the over 20% acceptance rate mentioned in the original post once the CDS for the current first years (class of ‘28) is published.
