Vandy or Rice for Premed?

<p>ModChem–this is what throws me about the 70% stat on that page…the proximity of a date from ten years ago. 1999??</p>

<p>My eldest son applied to Vandy in 2005. It was much easier to be admitted only four years ago. With the upsurge of applicants for the class of 2012 and their outstanding abilities and stats, and the talented class of 2013 coming behind them,
if it was…it won’t be for long. I just can’t believe their premed stat was 70% in 2008…or in 2007…etc, either.</p>

<p>vandyadmission? any updates on more recent premed or prelaw stats for Vandy seniors applying to professional schools? you must get asked this often…</p>

<p>Students interested in medicine and other health-related professions will find their required science courses are complemented by Vanderbilt’s liberal arts core of writing, humanities, and social science coursework. In the medical school selection process no one major has an advantage; in fact, Vanderbilt graduates who enrolled in medical school in 1999 represented majors from neuroscience to English to child development. Approximately 70% of Vanderbilt’s pre-med students are enrolled in medical school within 1 year of their graduation.</p>
