<p>I'd give the edge to Duke. Duke and Johns Hopkins have roughly the same acceptance rate to med school (~90%), but JHU has a nasty reputation for discouraging unpromising premeds. Duke is also less competitive, and there's more grade inflation than at JHU. However, Duke, JHU, WUStL, and Cornell are well-known for "weeding out" pre-meds. </p>

<p>If I were pre-med, I'd go somewhere like Kalamazoo or Haverford where the med school admit rate is 98-100% and the atmosphere's a lot more supportive and relaxed.</p>
