<p>If one looks at MIT’s numbers over time, the data points increase, and it becomes clearer that ~3.2 is the floor for its acceptances. Contrast that with WashU which has plenty of sub-3.0 acceptances. To me, those numbers make absolutely no sense (unless your comment below is correct).</p>

<p>Perhaps true, but you have changed the terms of your response. The OP did not ask about acceptances to MD/PhD programs. He asked only about MD acceptances. </p>
<p>btw: if true that a large number do apply to MD/PhD programs, then MIT should so state on its website (IMO). Perhaps they do not since the numbers are so small in total, that it would ‘out’ the students. Regardless, MIT could footnote the applications with a comment: of our xx applicants, yy applied only to combined programs.</p>
