<p>Here are Michigan’s and Duke’s. One of the main differences is the % of applicants with sub 30 MCAT scores. 50% of Michigan applicants to Medical schools have MCAT scores under 30, as opposed to just 25% at Duke and WUSTL. I heard that private universities discourage (and wisely so) applicants with very low chances of admission into medical schools from applying. </p>

<p>At any rate, acceptance rates for students with similar GPAs and MCATs are pretty similar across the board.</p>

<p>Alexandre, my guess is that it is just a function of the larger size and make-up of Michigan’s student body versus duke and washUstl</p>

<p>Verbal SAT’s (25%)
Michigan - 590
Duke - 660
WashU - 680</p>

<p>Math SAT’s (25%)
Michigan - 640
Duke - 680
WashU - 710</p>

<p>That goes without saying John. Michigan is 5 times the size of Duke of WUSTL, so naturally, that is going to be another factor. The key element to remember is that students from top universities are given roughly equal treatment. What will separate such applicants is GPA, MCAT score, essays and interviews.</p>
