Yes I believe you are correct UCBalumnus about the 90% acceptance rate being of those who apply. It is my understanding that 70% of pre-meds in general at all colleges end up never applying at all. Bluebayou yes the price is right-much less than UCB. You make a great point which has concerned me from the beginning “what if” da boy changes his mind. LMU assured us they were not including DO schools or any Caribbean/Mexico med schools. Hadn’t thought of the Holy Cross strategy. Thank you both very much for your input. We are doing the admit days at his top four choices (UCLA this Saturday, LMU this Sunday, UCB the following Saturday, and USC the Saturday after that). He was just up at UCB 3 weeks ago but I thought it important to go to their admit day program and it falls at the beginning of his spring break. And of course don’t even get me started on the three schools that waitlisted him!
