<p>^^^ Your thread makes it seem like thats the only reason that other comparable schools have higher percentages then emory does. Its not. </p>
<p>
^^^ They probably don’t advise students on the “best” way to prepare for the MCATs, when to prepare, how to prepare, how long to prepare, what resources they should use to prepare, etc. </p>

You were saying that other top 20 schools stop applicants from applying (NO SCHOOL WILL TELL YOU, YOU CAN’T APPLY TO MEDICAL SCHOOL,) which is true unless you are looking at JHU. </p>
<p>
Yes they don’t “weed out” or tell kids they can’t apply to medical school. However, schools like EMORY, Rice, Vanderbilt, Cornell, make their science classes difficult so only the best students make the grades necessary to make into medical school. Since it happens at Emory, and at other top schools, it doesn’t explain Emory’s low pre-med acceptance rate. </p>
<p>Emory’s Medical School has explicitly told Emory’s Undergrad that they need to make KEY CRITICAL CHANGES to bring Emory’s Pre-Med program on par with other “peer” schools. (Ie Cornell, Rice, Vanderbilt, Brown)</p>
<p>I am going to let this thread die, because all this thread does is make excuses for a pre-med program that NEEDS MAJOR CHANGES. HAHA funny thing was that the op made this thread simply because in another post, I made the statement that Emory’s pre-med program needs a lot of work.</p>
