“Be aware that none of these schools post the percentage of students who initially were interested in med school upon entry, but were discouraged from ultimately pursuing it, before the point of applying to them, due to poor grades and discouragement of the pre-med advisory people at their college.”

Wouldn’t that (discouragement of the pre-med advisory people) also be true of other schools and as such kind of even things out a bit…

I am not saying an 84% admit rate “proves” anything just that it is an “indicator” that a person can use along with other indicators to reach an informed decision. At least one other poster thinks going to a small LAC college hurts your chances of getting into med school…I just want to give that poster a little information that may cause him/her to pause and think about his/her preconceived notion.
