<p>Based on my (fact-free) observations, and what I have found written in local college newspapers, in general, approximately 25% of all incoming Frosh are pre-health. At colleges like Hopkins, it is closer to a third of the matriculating Frosh. </p>
<p>Every college has a lot of premeds, most of which never get to the application stage.</p>

<p>That’s why the mcat exists! </p>
<p>But, fwiw, those top schools also award more A’s than The Beach. Heck, Cal & UCLA award more A’s (in %) than Riverside and Merced. Not saying it’s a total equalizer – not even close, but the average gpa for a popular premed major at Cal is a 3.42; not too shabby for a large public. OTOH, Cal has more high scoring (SAT) students than Harvard.</p>
<p>btw: Yale is closer to a 3.6, and Brown is higher than Y.</p>
