<p>Hey Everyone! I just got accepted to Colgate and I definately want to go to medical school. How prestigous is Colgate with regard to med school acceptance. Is it better than or equal to schools like u of rochester, washu in st louis, and emory in this regard?</p>
<p>any feedback is appreciated :)</p>
<p>yes im in the same boat. anyone?</p>
<p>Um...

Unless you REALLY REALLY REALLY want a Liberal arts school.</p>

<p>Going by the <em>numbers</em> both Emory and WUSL have more students at the top colleges. But that doesn't mean diddly. You may change your idea about medicine after your first organic chem course.</p>
<p>If you're unhappy you won't do well. Pick the college you like the best :)
The location and mentality of all three are very different.
Are you from the south?</p>

<p>that's so weird...i just checked out the MD applicants site and whenever you go to the stanford profiles page there's one kid who had like a 31 MCAT score and a 3.34 GPA and got accepted from a top 50 school(i don't want to be to specific) and then there's another kid who DIDN'T get accepted with a 40 MCAT score and a 3.79 GPA from AN IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL! how does this work? is the interview that important?</p>
<p>theres 2 rounds... round 1 is all about numbers, and i hear that its computer processed and a human does not even look at ur app yet</p>
<p>if you pass round 1, then round 2 you are invited for an interview, and essay, EC and all the other stuff is reviewed. round 2 is all about having great interviews etc and that all matters more, but to get to round 2 you need numbers.</p>
<p>i dont know how to explain this kid, it may be some exception (minority, legacy etc, or maybe he had some killer ECs that a top 50 school saw)</p>

<p>No different than the kid attending Harvard with 1250 SATs (old scores) 600 on the sat subject writting test, 600 in their other subject tests and a 3.65 gpa...Not a great deal of guessing there</p>
