Just because someone (or two people or 100 people) who works for the medical school has an opinion about Emory’s premed curriculum, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it translates into admission decisions. I’m willing to bet that many faculty in Emory College disagree with the way that many high schools teach their students, yet those students are still accepted to Emory. Likewise, those from the med school with opinions may not be part of the Emory med admission committee.

Even if they are, I would be very surprised if they hold it against an applicant, especially since many Emory grads continue to Emory med. As long as a person’s MCAT and GPA are high enough, they will be accepted.
