<p>That is definitely not true. Admission rates for seniors have been in the 90% range these past few years. My D was a premed at MIT who graduated this past year. She was told all senior applicants were admitted in 2011. The modal medical school for admitted students is Harvard. </p>
<p>It is true that getting a high GPA is no piece of cake at MIT, although medical schools do take that into account. My D had a 3.5 GPA and was even offered interviews at some ultra-selective MD/PhD programs where 3.8/3.9 GPAs are the norm. </p>
<p>MIT is particularly convenient for premeds as you will have taken pretty much all your requirements by the end of sophomore year and can take your MCAT early. Many premed advisors at MIT are HMS professors and most students can volunteer at Mass General nearby.</p>
