<p>I’m currently at Utah State University pre-med but I am look at transferring to University of New Orleans. I have found the medical school acceptance rates for USU and the last couple years range from 60%-84% and UNO says on their main page that medical students are accepted 22% higher than national average. But I really don’t know…</p>
<p>Utah State or University of New Orleans?</p>
<p>22% higher than the national average doesn’t say much since the national average is lowish (maybe around 50%…so 22% higher isn’t impressive). Utah St’s acceptance rate would be similar or better.</p>
<p>If you’re instate for Utah State, WHY would you want to pay a much higher cost to go to UNO?</p>
<p>National acceptance rates are lower than 50%–more like 40-44%.</p>
<p>22% higher than 44 would still be in the low-mid 60’s. Not any different than Utah State’s.</p>
<p>So like mom2 said–it’s not a good reason to transfer</p>
<p>For all we know, they just mean 22% more than average or .22*44=9.68 and thus they mean 54%.</p>
<p>22% higher than 40% is less than a 50% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>jennifer…we need to know more about you. What is your home state? What are your stats? How much will your family pay?</p>
<p>Most colleges are “expensive” unless you can commute to a local public. We need to know what your budget is.</p>
<p>Do not pay any attention to this 22% whatever this number means. Be at school that you personally prefer.</p>
