"what does that mean? Does it mean that Yale’s pre-med education really is superior, or that medical schools are impressed by prestige? "</p>
<p>It could be a combination of both. If Yale grads get into an ivy medical school, it is long suspected that Ivies prefer graduates of other Ivies. If they do get into top state schools which only care for GPA and MCAT score + a few other attributes, it is primarily education.</p>
