Deciding Between Programs

RE: UC’s number of pre-meds.

Per AMCAS data, U Chicago produced 153 med school applicants last year–this number includes both current student applicants and any post-grad applicants no matter how far removed from the applicant is from undergrad.

(AMCAS only captures the name of an applicant’s undergrad. The data does not reflect if the applicant achieved a more advanced degree or attended a post-bacc.)

That number is significantly lower than any of UChicago’s peer schools of equivalent undergrad enrollment size–

Chicago —153

Harvard–289
Vanderbilt–264
JHU–428
WashU–370
Brown–299
Duke–346
Columbia–196
Stanford–230
Notre Dame–260

Smaller academic peer schools with smaller/much smaller undergrad enrollments

Yale (>6000 undergrads)–202
Rice (>4000 undergrads)–196
Dartmouth (~4000 undergrads)–157

Data is for the 2018-19 application cycle.
