Why is there such a huge disparity in acceptance rates?

<p>“Also, UT Southwestern has ~4000 applicants but only accepts around 230. So that’s around a 5% acceptance rate as well… And that’s just a rank 22 med school…”</p>

<p>And your point is? UTSW is a top tier med school …any of the top 25 schools should not be taken for granted…doing well at UTSW will get you ANY residency you want ANYWHERE…with Parkland as a primary training ground its students get to see and do so much more than at many places making them very well prepared for residencies and highly sought after…and it’s ridiculously inexpensive.</p>
