<p>I was just wondering if, since Brown has a medical school (diff. from MIT), it’s easier for Brown students to get into its own med school after going undergrad. At MIT students seem to have a harder time than you would think getting into med schools because of grade deflation. Is there such a problem at Brown? IYO which would be better for premed-- brown, MIT, or penn?</p>
<p>Brown does very well with med school admits, however, almost all of Brown Med school's studnets are accepted as incoming undergraduate freshman at Brown.</p>

<p>I don't know much about the specific premed programs at Brown or MIT.
As for Penn:
Penn Med School #3 on US News.
Penn #2 in the country for reciept of National Institute of Health funds.
Hospital, Med School and all medical facilities located on campus.
More than 80% of Penn pre-meds get into their top 3 choice of med school (source: Penn Career Services website). The national average is around 50-60%.
Excellent research and funding options available especially through the Center of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships (<a href="http://www.upenn.edu/curf%5B/url%5D">www.upenn.edu/curf</a>)
Excellent premed advising.
Penn Med ever so slightly favors it's own undergrads.</p>
<p>Don't go to MIT for med school. There really isn't grade deflation at Brown - in most pre-med classes, your grade reflects your effort and ability.</p>
<p>Grade deflation is the last thing you want for med school.
Avoid MIT.
You'll have a better time at Brown. Penn students don't have souls.
Pick Brown.

<p>s snack holds an inexplicable, almost pathological hatred for Penn.</p>
<p>Wharton reject, I suspect.</p>
<p>If I were you, I'd definitely rule out MIT, unless you're naturally brilliant and can pull off a 3.5+ GPA there without overstressing. Brown premed is amazing..I forget the exact statistic, but Brown's acceptance rate into medical school is consistently in the top 5.</p>
<p>arwen1 thanks for the input. do you know where i can find the stats for the top 5 medical school acceptance rates?</p>
<p>bump kanem07's previous post. please help!</p>
<p>There are no such unified statistics, from what I know. What you can find around is how many students from each school that is accepted at the top med schools. Bur that number not only contains a huge amount of bias and self-selection, it is also in levels not rates.</p>
<p>None of the schools will limit you in terms of applying to medical school and Brown will probably help you the most by giving you a curriculum that allows you to distinguish yourself among the throngs of other applicants. Brown will make the pre-med experience much more painless by offering fun, well-taught pre-med classes, great comaraderie, and an incredibly well-honed pre-med advising office.</p>
