<p>How well does UMich send their students to Med Schools? Any data would be great! Thanks in advance</p>
<p>Although Michigan is not the best university at placing students into Medical school, it is quite effective at doing so, especially in the case of qualified students. Students with 3.5+ GPAs and solid MCATs have a very good chance of getting into a medical school of their choice and students with 3.2-3.4 GPAs and average MCATs have an decent chance of getting into Medical school. Annually, roughly 50 Michigan students enroll into Michigan medical school alone. Another 50+ students enroll into other top 10 medical schools. Altogether, roughly 400 or so Michigan students end up enrolling into Medical school. I believe Michigan sends more students to medical school than any university in the nation.</p>
<p>I didn't enroll at UMich as a freshman undergrad, instead I went with CMU, and although CMU does not have a renowned pre-med program, UMich med school is (as of now, at least) my top choice. I know it's really early to be thinking about med school, but a few things concern me about CMU:</p>
<p>-CMU does not place many students into med schools, either because it is not popular at CMU (since it is mostly an engineering/computer science school) or because CMU graduates do not have much luck getting into med school. However, I think it's mostly the former, because CMU reps have told me that CMU-med school acceptances is somewhere around 80+%? (I couldn't find a site actually validating this, but if anyone knows, feel free to post)</p>
<p>-From past graduate survey information, it does not look like CMU has sent any graduates to UMich med school (although they have sent students to other grad schools within UMich)</p>
<p>Is there any insight that could come in handy for a prospective med student like myself? Thanks</p>
<p>P.S.- Between the years 2001 to 2005, it looks like less than 50 CMU graduates have or are in med school now.</p>
<p>KRabbles, CMU, like any top university, will present students with unlimited graduate school opportunities. Keep in mind that the # of students who are pre-med at CMU is very low. I'd say that 50% are die-hard Engineers and another 30% are Business/Econ/arts majors. Only 20% of CMU students major in the arts and sciences, and only a small portion of those are premeds. I would be surprised if more than 100 CMU students even applied to medical school annually. But those students will have all the benefits that a student at any top university will have. All you need to worry about is taking those required classes and maintaining a 3.5+ GPA. The rest will fall into place.</p>
<p>The MCAT is everything. You get an automatic interview at Michigan if you score 36+.</p>
<p>What is the average MCAT score and what percentile is a 36? I'm guessing that's the 99th?</p>
<p>hahaha ONLY a 36....and a 3.5+ at UM is hard for premed dude...not saying its impossible, but believe me, A LOT of work is necessary....a lot of premeds I have made buds with usually have around a 3.2-3.3 but i know a few who are just natural geniuses and can get 3.7+ and what not</p>
<p>UM has rougly a 60% acceptance rate into med school. That is actually very good considering it doe not screen any of its students, as well as it is a public school. Of course there is no garauntee what will happen with you in 4 yrs however, but if you come to UM, the name will definitely help provided you have the grades, 3.5+ GPA 30+MCAT and your good interview to back it up</p>
<p>and yea i think a 36 is 99th...if not 99th definitly 90+ percentile</p>
<p>36 is 99th</p>
<p>My roommate got a 35. He got acceptances to UMich, UCSF, USC, UNC, and got interviewed at Harvard before being waitlisted.</p>
<p>Oh yea, he also got accepted to Dartmouth and Brown as well.</p>
<p>This is an 06' UMich grad</p>
<p>He's obviously going to Michigan right?</p>
<p>He got into brown? They usually don't take anyone because almost their entire incoming class is from their 8 yr BA MD program. UCSF would be the clear choice in my opinion.</p>
<p>UCSF is definitely awesome.</p>
<p>No he's going to UCSF</p>
<p>I went with him last November to interview there... that place is amazing.</p>
