As the poster said to have “asserted that 80% of freshmen pre-meds wash out,” that’s not what I wrote. I did say, “some” colleges. And referred to one, which has older data. Not going to link it. This is not an argument about how to get into med school. It’s up to the individual to learn what she or he can about how their possible UG targets treat premeds/premed courses.
This thread is about OP. His or her UG targets. Waiting for specific data that meets some stranger’s standards misses a vital aspect OP should consider.
He/she asked about the rep of the UG mattering. It’s not the prestige of the UG college, it’s the performance you can truly achieve there.
The colleges report number of applicants who get an admit to one of their top 3 med school choices. Not how many freshman began with med dreams and don’t make it to applying. You can assure OP “all things are possible” or offer perspective. Weeding can happen.
