<p>From their career services page, Cornell states that 79% of graduates matriculate to a med school and that number jumps to 84% (i think) for those with GPAs of 3.4 and over. How does this compare to the national average? Is Cornell a good school to go to if you want to go to med school?</p>
<p>Considering that Cornell produces more students who go on to become doctors than any other school in the country, I would say so.</p>
<p>Cornell's acceptance rates are above the national average. Cornell students are also known for their ability to rock the MCAT....a significant percentage of students score a 35+ (which...is really good).</p>

<p>I think Cornell does a good job in getting its graduates into med school and preparing them. It's acceptance rate is usually in the 70-80% range, which is what you'd expect for the caliber of students it enrolls. </p>
<p>And to be more correct, Cornell doesn't "get" any of its students into med school. You get yourself into med school. Cornell just provides the tools.</p>
<p>just for kicks (im no pre med kid) how many of those people go on to presigious med schools like harvard or stanford or whatever is considered the best/top tier</p>
<p>This will tend to vary from year to year. For example, in my graduating class this year, out of 120 entering med students, 4 (including me) are from Cornell which is a large overrepresentation considering the # of total colleges out there. However, so far, for this application cycle, my school has only interviewed 2-3 Cornell applicants total (we are sent an email each week with the schools of the interviewees) so it is not inconceivable that there will be no Cornellians in next year's entering class. </p>
<p>Typically, I'd say that you'll probably see an average of 3-4 Cornellians per Top 20 med school (obviously, Weill will have more while Baylor Med might have less). According to the AAMC, Cornell produces approx. 450 applicants a year so to have 20% of them get into a top tier med school is pretty good considering the 2-3% acceptance rates. A better stat that is reported in Cornell's med school applicant handbook is that 80% of Cornell applicants with a 3.8+ GPA will get into at least one Top 20 med school.</p>
<p>Any idea how difficult it is to get into a Canadian Med School, like McGill or a British one like Cambridge compared to a US top 20 med school?</p>
<p>From what I've heard....Canadian medical school admission is also very competitive...maybe even at the level of competition for a Top 20 US school. At one point I was considering caribbean medical schools....lots of Canadian students were there.</p>
<p>I don't think it's too early...you might want to check out the Student Doctor Network....lots of good resources....Student</a> Doctor Network</p>
<p>whats the website that shows all of this? thanx</p>
