Yes, it is a subset, but I think a relatively meaningful one when a student considers what university will best set him/her up for medical school. The subset is for first time applicants who submitted their application within 2 years of graduation and agreed to release their data to the AAMC, which I think is the “traditional” path for doctors. It provides useful data for a prospective premed as to what they need to achieve in terms of GPA and MCAT scores to have a good chance at getting into an MD program. Of course many other factors will come into play, but this is a useful table. Also Berkeley does provide comparable overall numbers by graduating class with national averages, and we can see Berkeley is above national averages. That doesn’t tell you whether or by how much a 3.7/505 Berkeley grad is advantaged/disadvantaged over a grad of University X with a 3.7/510 in terms of historical acceptance rates. I guess I am just reacting to the multitude of comments we see on CC that undergrad doesn’t matter when we talk about professional schools (med and law), just GPA and test scores. I just don’t think that is the case and each family needs to dig into the success rates of each university. The tables/matrix I linked from Berkeley would be a good place to start to compare colleges against each other.
