<p>My list:</p>
<p>1) Baylor
2) Washington U
3) Washington Lee
4) Emory
5) ??????</p>
<p>Just to name a few…</p>
<p>Princeton
Harvard
Amherst
Duke
Stanford</p>
<p>From these schools, ~90% applicants get into a medical school.</p>
<p>That number 5 is Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>Brown is one of the top 5. They brag about it in their website.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is not true. Amherst nor Duke make the top 5. Yale and Brown are the ones missing in your list. Also, Hopkins premed program is not in the top 5 either.</p>
<p>^I said “to name a few.” I don’t see how someone can really list the “five best” schools to be a premed student. That’s just like ranking universities in general, and we all know how much controversy that leads to…</p>
<p>Do you have any proof that Yale sends more kids to the top med schools than Duke?</p>
<p>That shoul dbe less controversial. LOL!</p>
<p>how about you are wasting your time. Suggest you take an AP Stats course and then think (critically) about the numerators AND denominators…and then think about how many Johns Hopkins Frosh are premed in August…perhaps 30%?</p>
<p>84% of the college of new jersey kids that apply get into med school, as per their website.</p>
<p>Schreyer Honors College at Penn State: 100% acceptance into med school (no kidding!)</p>
<p>Save yourselves some trouble.</p>
<p>Here’s one from 2006 (with lots of interesting discussion):
</a></p>
<p>And another from 2007:
</a></p>
<p>I believe Pomona has a high 90’s acceptance rate into med school, which means it must be top 5 in the country</p>
<p>From another site that advises pre-med students:
"Beware of colleges that boast of extremely high medical school acceptance rates from their premed programs. These schools often achieve those high numbers by weeding out their premed students aggressively, so that only the best premed students are even allowed to complete the program. You can calculate a school’s “true” acceptance rate by dividing the number of premed graduates it has accepted into medical school by the number of current freshmen premed majors. A 90% med school acceptance rate probably means that the school rejected students who would have been borderline medical college admits before they finished their premed programs!</p>
<p>If you believe you would be near the median of such a premed program, you will probably not want to attend that particular university. You would run the risk of being pushed out of the program if your performance slipped."</p>
<p>William & Mary has had the highest med school acceptance in Virginia for decades.</p>
<p>Duke and Holy Cross.</p>
<p>Here is an analysis of the MD admission GPA listed on MDapplicants.com for a few selected schools:</p>
<p>Applicant’s Undergraduate School: Average GPA to get into medical schools</p>
<p>Princeton: 3.532
Dartmouth: 3.542
MIT: 3.547
Johns Hopkins: 3.584
Duke: 3.598
Harvard: 3.601
Stanford: 3.605
UC Irvine: 3.621
WUSTL: 3.624
UCLA: 3.635
UC Berkeley: 3.636
U of Florida: 3.688</p>
<p>On average, students from Princeton need a 3.532 to get into medical school while students from UC Berkely need 3.636.</p>
<p>i know Williams says that their acceptence rate into med school is in the 90’s</p>
<p>I would be suspicious of a school that claims an overall placement rate of 90% into medical school. In such instances, I would suspect that the university restricts students below a certain level from applying in order to elevate their placement rates. Generally speaking, 75%-85% of students with 3.2 GPAs and solid MCAT composite 10+ who apply from any of the top 30 private universities, top 15 plublic universities and top 30 LACs will will be admitted into into medical school. </p>
<p>At many universities, students with sub 3.2 GPAs and sub 10+ MCAT composites are either seriously discouraged from applying to medical school or altogether forbidden from doing so through the university. Those are the universities that will claim those 85%+ overall Medical school placement rates. Most universities with completely open policies will allow a large number of 2.0-3.1 students with 7-9 MCAT composities to apply to Medical school, and those are the ones who will drop the overall placement rates from 80%-90% to 50%-65%.</p>
<p>Adding to Professor’s stats in post #16, the average successful applicant to Medical school from the university of Michigan gaduated with a 3.60 cummulative GPA (3.51 in Science-related classes).</p>

<p>Without the mcat scores, gpa’s are worthless by themselves. (I’d be willing to guess that the average Tiger has a higher MCAT-VR than that of the average Golden Bear applicant.)</p>
