This stat and similar ones mean NOTHING to a high school kid and means nothing to any one person.

THAT stat does NOT mean that 93% of freshmen H premeds get into a med school.

A school can start out with 500 premeds, but by the time junior year ends, only 100 end up applying to med school. And of that 100 that apply, 93 got into ONE US MD school.

So, what does that stat tell a high school kid about his own chances??? Nothing.

All that stat means is that after all the heavy weeding and mind-changing, that after junior year of college, those who still have med-school worthy stats and med school interests, and who apply to med school. had a 93% chance of getting into at least one US MD school. That stat isn’t much higher than many other schools.
