Rank these professional schools based on how numbers-heavy admissions

med school admission is only slightly less numbers-based than law school.

When people talk about the difficulty of getting into a law school vs a med school, they refer to the difficulty of getting into one of the T14 law schools vs any med school. Otherwise, I think there is no comparison. Also, I believe the “value” or “job prospect” of getting into a lower-tier law school is generally perceived as being quite limited.



Yet I feel some professional schools leading to healthcare professions are more numbers-based than law school.

I heard the opposite. The admission to the majority of top law schools is almost all number game. YLS may be an exception here as you need to be accepted by everyone in the admission committee - so the soft factors matter for this law school, just like the admission to a med school, and its graduates are encouraged to go into public services mostly. (So I do not think most of the admission committee there would prefer those applicants who show signs of joining a top law firm in the future to rake in money by working to almost death.)
