<p>I think you will find that senior/alumni combination almost everywhere. Medical school admission has pushed back so early and become so time-consuming, that I think it’s more common than not almost everywhere for students to wait until after they have finished college to start the medical school application process. Intellectually, I know many students still apply when they are college seniors, but among the children of my friends who have gone to medical school recently (at great medical schools), not one applied until after graduating from college.</p>
