There’s a few other schools that boast 100% MD acceptance rates for Classics majors…even some state flagships. Something about the type of student who does the Classics and premed prereqs…the right kind of thinking process???

That said, my ChemE son feels that his undergrad education taught him to process and use info…which he felt helped him on the MCAT (which he didn’t study for…bad boy!), but did well enough to get accepted to 3 of the 6 MD schools he applied to (another bad boy thing…only completing 6 apps!)

I’ve watched my son approach “real life problems” such as leaks in the plumbing (a recent home issue!) and he’s very methodical about finding the problem, eliminating causes, solving the problem, and then doing checks and rechecks.
