I will leave this discussion with the following comment:

Anecdotal reports of how well someone does or does not do in applying to Med School, or anything else, for that matter, may be informative, could even be “data” but is hardly useful in deciding if UofC does “not as good a job as one would hope”.

To start, few people know how well someone actually does. People exaggerage (round up?). “Common Sense” is not always right - take the GPA issue for example.

There is no question Que7 argues. But argument for the sake of argument may be very UofC like, but when one must argue from unsupported assumptions, it is hard to weigh the validity of the argument, much less the conclusions.
