Maximizing Med School Acceptance Success at Chicago

<p>As far as I know, Chicago students do extremely well for b-school placement. From what I know, a good rule of thumb is, if the type of graduate school does not value GPA as highly, Chicago will do excellent in placement for that grad school. So, for example, masters programs, PHD programs, and in business school, GPA is NOT as valued a commodity as it is in the law and medical school world. Accordingly, Chicago students do absolutely great in their b-school performance.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I don’t have hard evidence behind my assertions - only anecdotal evidence. In contrast of my friends going the law and med route, however, Chicago students seem to excel on the b-school route. </p>

<p>No doubt, this is helped by Chicago’s great placement for finance. Since students are also sort of “on the track,” the majority wind up at outstanding business schools. Out of the 30 or so students I keep in touch with on and off that chose business school, I know about 5 at Harvard, a handful at Wharton, a half dozen at Chicago, another half dozen at Kellogg, a couple at Stanford, a few at Columbia, a few at Stern, and a couple at Duke. I can’t really think of anyone at a business school ranked lower than 10-15 or so.</p>
