Med school acceptance stats from prominent colleges/universities

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics
1

<p>I was looking for med school acceptance numbers for pre-med programs in prominent colleges/universities. I see similar discussions in a lot of threads, but no comprehensive list for all top schools. I was able to find the following. Please add links to similar stats for other prominent schools. I am specially interested in UCSD, Duke, Brown, JHU.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley :</p>

<p>UCLA :</p>

<p>Cornell :</p>

<p>Emory :</p>

<p>Very few schools actually publish charts like these (with the breakdown of gpa and mcat).</p>

<p>A lot just publish various rates.</p>

<p>Eh, those charts don’t really tell you much - the numbers (i.e. sample size) are so small as to be almost completely irrelevant. UCLA has the largest applicant pool to med schools each year, and their chart from 2009 shows a grand total of 164. Another problem is the fact that these data points are self-selected - i.e. they are from those students who voluntarily allowed their AMCAS info to be released to their school.</p>

<p>If you want acceptance data by GPA/MCAT scores, go straight to the source - AMCAS puts out reports on this.</p>

<p>^^ I guess Berkley and UCLA use sample sizes, but Emory and Cornell use data from all their pre-med applicants.</p>

<p>Almost no school manages COMPLETE capture. Berkeley and UCLA provide virtually no advising and therefore get very, very severe self-reporting problems. Private schools (presumably like Emory) which use a committee system will get very high capture from all current students and recent graduates. It’s the further-out grads which are generally underreported.</p>

6

<p>^^Correct. An undergrad college with a Committee will end up with an extremely high data capture rate. Schools like the UCs, which have very decentralized advising, if any at all, end up with self-reported data from students that happen to take the time to report back to Career Services. (Note, Career Services doesn’t provide any value-added service to a premed/prelaw students, so many/most? don’t even use them.) And, of course, UC alumni reporting back after a gap year or two would even be more rare – what’s the point?</p>
