Pre-Med - Yale, Hopkins, Cornell, UChicago or Columbia?

<p>In my mind, there’s no doubt that you should pick Yale (this is coming from a Cornell student!). Yale’s 90+% acceptance rate into med school is INCREDIBLY impressive. If you go to Yale, you’re virtually guaranteed to get into med school, and that’s not true for the other schools on your list. There are many people who I know here at Cornell that weren’t able to get into med school and consequently have to take a gap year to do a masters, or just reapply later (Cornell’s med school acceptance rate is only 68%). The grading is far easier at Yale than it is at the other schools you mentioned. There was a report in the Princeton newspaper that estimated Yale’s median GPA to be a 3.6. Yale is the obvious choice for premeds.</p>
