[Table 2-7. Undergraduate Institutions Supplying 100 or More White Applicants to U.S. Medical Schools - FACTS - AAMC](http://www.aamc.org/data/facts/2008/mwhite08.htm)

Why is it that a University with so many undergrads (38,000) only produces 221 med school applicants whereas comparable institutions such as Ohio State, Michigan State, University of Illinois (Urbana Champaign), and University of Michigan are producing 290, 330, 421, and 660, respectively?

Are the sciences at Penn State respectable? Is it just that fewer students at Penn State want to become doctors? Is the pre-med program at Penn State too intimidating or difficult?

Please, people, especially science students at penn state…help me!
