<p>How many students from Carleton, are usually accepted to a Medical School? Which brings me to my next question: Are there a lot Pre-med students at Carleton?</p>
<p>As a current freshman, I will note that, at least ostensibly, pre-med and pre-professional students in general seem to be fairly uncommon, especially in comparison with other peer LAC’s (Bowdoin, Amherst, etc).</p>
<p>I think a lot of pre-med (and especially pre-law) students at Carleton tend to fly under the radar. Obviously, there’s no pre-med/pre-law/pre-whatever major here, but there’s a special advising system designed to assist students with those interests. You can get in touch with the pre-health advisor and find out more about pre-med at Carleton through the website: [Carleton</a> College: Pre-Medical Program](<a href=“http://apps.carleton.edu/curricular/premed/]Carleton”>http://apps.carleton.edu/curricular/premed/)</p>
<p>I agree that pre-med students here are not very obvious, but I do personally know 3 and maybe more who I just don’t know they’re pre-med, so it’s not like they’re nonexistent. From what I have seen/heard my impression is that pre-professional students from Carleton in general do pretty well in admissions.</p>
<p>Fly under the radar they do. Despite all the phd prone Carls running around campus, the last numbers I’ve seen suggest 8% or so head off to med school each year. Acceptance rates are very high and placement very good.</p>
<p>Well, I know at least 4 or 5 that I could list off the top of my head. In my freshman intro bio class alone, there were at least 5 kids who wanted to go pre-med - that I knew of. There was almost certainly more. For a liberal arts college, I think there are definitely a fair amount of pre-med students…I guess they just fly under the radar for some.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how good is the medical school acceptance rate?</p>
