I’ve been reading a lot about Cornell and I’ve been wondering how good is Cornell’s placement into medical school despite having grade deflation. Is it easier to get into medical school from Cornell than say a top 30 school?

Any idea why Cornell’s admission to medical school is so low relative to other ivies and what not?

The university has a particularly high concentration of NYS residents, maybe that plays into things somehow too.
Like if NYS med schools are more competitive as a group than those of some some other states, and the state where you have some advantage in med school admissions is the state that you are a resident of. I don’t know if it works like that though.
Cornell doesn’t have grade defflation. It doesn’t have inflation either. Cornell will prepare you fine. Medical schools take into account the school that you come from. Cornell is a tier 1 school. Rank 30 probably is as well (depending on the med school). A huge part of getting into medical school depends on YOU and what you do. Regarding the acceptance rates, I dont know what it is for the other IVYs… but dont forget unfortunately, as far as application stats go, cornell is probably dead last (or close) among the IVYs… so it’s not hard to believe that applicants from harvard, princeton, yale, columbia, upenn have higher stats applying to medical school as well.
