The premed screening committee is brutal, attrition is terrible due to enforced curves and I’m pretty sure Dartmouth has a slightly higher rate, as do most elite liberal arts colleges. (Williams boasts 97 but I haven’t looked at those numbers closely in years, so I’m taking it with a grain of salt.)

Bottom line: if you’re an aspiring premed do NOT pick a school, especially Cornell, based on its med placement numbers. Chances are (greater than at other schools) that you will drop premed here by the end of second semester.

That said, other programs here are top notch. But for your specific career interests, batfan, I would pick Dartmouth.
