<p>do students go on from cal poly to medical school.</p>

2

<p>No one from Cal Poly has ever gone to med school.</p>

3

<p>In fact, nobody from a public school has ever gone on to a med school.</p>

<p>Nor, for that matter, has anybody from California.</p>

4

<p>lol, i know it was stupid question but im worried that medical schools will look down on a state school</p>

<p>If you go to Harvard, you will have a better chance for med school. But plenty of graduates of state schools go to med school .If you are attending a state college, get a high GPA and high MCATs. Then you will get into medical school. Even IVY schools have rejects.</p>

<p>UF is a public school and I now many people that were able to get into top 20 med schools. Don't look on your undergrad institution as a negative.</p>

7

<p>Here's a list of schools where CP students have been accepted:</p>

<p>That GPA is lower than I expected. (Low is good.)</p>

<p>first of all, i know im about to revive a 3 year old thread but i really want to know as well because that link is broken and i wanna know if new stats and figures are available</p>

<p>Well, FENT, the game has changed. Now ONLY students from Cal-Poly get into med school. Going to any of the UCs or, G-d forbid, a CSU (or any other land-grants state U) absolutely disqualifies you for medical school. Simply not a chance. Not even a small one. Period.
You’d be better off just flippin’ burgers now, but if you go to HYPS you will, of course, get in no matter your GPA, guaranteed.</p>

<p>seriously can people that are mature reply?</p>

<p>This is all I could find
Nationally, for allopathic medical school, the overall mean GPA for the 2007 entering class of students was a 3.65 and the science GPA was a 3.59. In 2007, Cal Poly undergraduate students accepted to medical school had a mean overall GPA of 3.60 and a science GPA of a 3.50</p>

<p>Also, if you search fro Cal Poly there are a few accepted student profiles you can look at here:</p>

<p>A little hypersensitive there? Take a chill pill, dude, and take a little sarcasm from time to time.</p>

<p>Anyway, honestly, if the link here is broken now, why should someone else go through the effort of finding a new one for you? You could have googled it yourself, but the truth is the answer hasn’t really changed. Students from every school can get in. Do well and be above the nat’l mean and you’ll be fine. That’s really all there is to it (at least in terms of GPA; the process as a whole is obviously vastly more complex).</p>

<p>apumic: i saw the sarcasm but its just that you werent the first person to do it so i got a little irritated. As for searching for the link i looked but it turns out that the pre health advising link on their website was broken too</p>

15

<p>The stuff that I posted was from the pre-health advising page. I went to the cal poly website and searched pre-med advising.</p>
