<p>RyanMK,</p>
<p>Agree WUSTL attracts more pre-meds than UC but that does not make the table misleading showing more than twice as many pre-meds apply to med school from WUSTL as compared with Chicago. Instead, it highlights that WUSTL is well known as a strong pre-med program and hence the pull to prospective pre-med students over UC. </p>
<p>Agree with your overall points and believe WUSTL also provides a terrific liberal arts education (just not quite as all consuming as UC’s which is a plus for a pre-med in my view), but would be wary of any acceptance stats from any schools as they are notoriously gamed. To give you one example – Hopkins (one of strongest pre-med programs in country) admits on its web site that its acceptance rate is less than 65% and so no way that any school is getting 19/20 in (absent some major caveats in how they calculate the statistics such as committee pre-approvals, only students with certain GPAs/MCAT scores etc).</p>
