From Cornell’s premed website…
Med school acceptance rate: " In 2010…, Cornell’s acceptance rate was 67%."
Such old info…but still the rate isn’t impressive.
<<<
Cornell it’s 71% and jumps to 85% for those with a GPA of at least 3.4,
<<<
No…71% with a GPA of 3.4+ were accepted (2013 data which is outdated, as well, since each year becomes more competitive.
Don’t let that fool you. Most of those applicants with a 3.4-3.5 were rejected. The 3.4 that were accepted have some sort of hook/backstory (nontraditional applicant, URM, etc).
I’m sure that those with 3.8-4.0 GPA had nearly 100% acceptance rate as long as they didn’t have a foolish app list or lousy MCAT.
Those with 3.7-3.8 and worthy MCAT probably had a 80% acceptance rate.
It’s misleading for Cornell to report that way. It is easily confuses people into thinking that some with a 3.4 actually has a high chance of admittance to one US MD med school, when really it’s more like 35% with a strong/high MCAT. For those with a borderline MCAT, their chances are about 28%.
And, I don’t see anywhere that Cornell posts what their average MCAT score is. If it were high, I’m sure that they’d have that headlined on their premed stats page.
and where are you seeing the UT stats?
