<p>Any rates of successful med school applicants posted by a college are not to be trusted.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because there is no uniform way this number is calculated. (Does it include alumni applicants or just college senior applicants? Does it include just MD programs? Does it include DO and MD? ND? Caribbean med schools? Does the school restrict who applies by withholding committee letters from weaker candidates?)</p>
<p>Rhodes College’s physics program may or may not be less challenging than UMich’s. (You might look up old posts by curmudgeon whose D attended Rhodes and take a look at his observations.) </p>
<p>I am most familiar with western and southwestern schools, but if you post your stats, FA requirements and state residence, I’m sure some of the knowledgable posters here can make some suggestions.</p>
