<p>I got accepted into school of LSA</p>
<p>Im planning on going into medical school,</p>
<p>so there wasnt any other schools that I could apply for</p>
<p>some people told me LSA is the easiest school to get in which makes me feel bad…</p>
<p>is that true? which school is the hardest then? </p>
<p>I know It wont change anything but just wondering…</p>
<p>in terms of acceptance rate, engineering has a higher % than LSA, but that’s only becoz of the self-selectivity(only the people who have the high math/science scores would apply to engineering in general), becoz engineering also has the highest mean SAT and mean GPA out of all the schools…so if you have uber good stats, engineering would be the easier to get into, otherwise, LSA would be much easier. The hardest to get into as a freshman would be preadmit, but that’s irrelevant since u r talking about SCHOOLS, i would say the easiest is LSA for most people then, unless you r the high math score/low verbal score type, then i would suggest applying to COE</p>
<p>If you already got accepted, it sounds like it’s more a pride issue that you got into the “easy” school. LSA may be the easiest according to everyone, but that does not mean it’s EASY. If you were accepted it’s quite an accomplishment. LSA will do no less for your reputation than another UofM school as near as I can tell, and it was the only option appropriate for your goals. So don’t feel bad, just enjoy your acceptance.</p>
<p>Thank you all</p>
<p>Bearcats - there is no preadmit for medicine right?</p>
<p>LSA is not the easiest to get into. Each program is roughly equal in terms of selectivity. The toughest program to get into is Musical Theater. Hundreds of the most talented students from around the country apply and only a handful are accepted. Ross preadmit is pretty tough too. </p>
<p>Michigan used to have a Medicine “pre-admit” program, primarily targeting URMs, but that was terminated 4 years ago. Interflex (that’s what it was called) was a 6 year program (2 years of undergraduate classes and 4 years of medicine). However, that program was discontinued.</p>
<p>Do you know why it’s discontinued?</p>
<p>I am not sure really. Does it matter? I personally think those programs make no sense for several reasons:</p>
<p>1) Most 18 year olds who say they want to be doctors change their minds by the time they are 20.</p>
<p>2) It is impossible to establish with any degree of certainty whether or not an 18 year old has the necessary talent, attitude and drive to become a doctor.</p>
<p>You need basically something around a 4.0 to get into any top 50 med school (the admissions are very reliant on purely numbers), so it wouldn’t make sense for them to pick a select group of kids not knowing how they’re going to do in college (versus high school, where most kids at top schools had a very good GPA) and say that they are pre-admitted into Med school.</p>
