Yes, it is true that approximately 75% of Stanford med school applicants were admitted to a medical school compared to the national figure of 46.7%.

Unfortunately, I do not have the statistics for how successful Stanford students are at gaining acceptance to the top 25 med schools. All I know is how many actually matriculated (not how many applied or were accepted). Out of 225 matriculants (there were actually more, but data are missing) in 2005 (I don’t have any more recent data),

6 went to Baylor
9 went to Columbia
5 went to UCLA
9 went to Harvard
7 went to Northwestern
12 went to Stanford
23 went to UCSF
14 went to UCSD
4 went to U Penn
6 went to UTSW
4 went to Cornell
5 went to Yale

This obviously does not cover the top 25, but perhaps this gives you an idea of how successful Stanford students are able to be.
