Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics
What’s in numerator? (off shore, foreign?)
What’s in the denominator? (only those who obtain Committee approval to even apply?)
And even when one has the complete numbers, one has to remember that every state has different selectivity. Med school for CA residents is brutal. NY and TX not so bad. Thus, a resident of say NY that attends HC can always go back to their home state public. Not necessarily true of CA residents as three of the publics are top 15 national med schools – with admission stats to match. So a CA resident with similar numbers and recs to a NY or TX resident will find an allopathic admission much more difficult.
