Medical School Placement Number Tricks

<p>Look, I know Emory has its problems with the advising program… but I am trying to point out that other schools inflate their data to make it seem like a higher med school placement rate than it is in reality.</p>

<p>You say that Emory pre-health advising is a problem. That does not explain why 1/2 the kids can’t get a 30 on the MCAT. Honestly, how would I know? I don’t even go to Emory yet. I assume that Emory bio and chem classes focus on different material than is covered by the MCAT. Studying over a summer cannot make up for poor classroom preparation. Emory has to deal with that.</p>

<p>I never claimed that other Top 20 schools other than JHU screen applicants… all I said is that such a fact would be hard to know even if your “freinds” say so. Also, can I ask what year you are at Emory?</p>
