@artloversplus Nothing wrong with UMCP or UF, both generate a large number of medical school applicants, especially UF.
The AAMC puts out a listing of “Undergraduate Institutions Supplying Applicants to U.S. Medical Schools by Applicant Race and Ethnicity”.
https://www.aamc.org/data/facts/applicantmatriculant/86042/factstablea2.html
For 2018-2019:
1: UCLA with 1,014
2: UF with 852
3: Michigan with 815
4 UT-Austin with 747
5: UC-Berkeley with 662
UMCP has 364
UIUC: 381
Baylor 293
ASU 339
All of these schools “create” a large number of applicants, with the possible exception of Purdue (Engineering to Med school is uncommon, in-state pre-med students tend to select Indiana University). Of course, you can still attend Purdue, be pre-med, and get into medical school.
If cost is about the same, Baylor’s main advantage is Private (expensive) vs Public, it will have smaller class sizes, and a better faculty to student ratio, perhaps better advising, etc.
