<p>I found out today, that the amount of kids taking the intro science classes at Emory is around 560 kids (Intro to Bio has 560 kids, intro to chem has 500 kids). That means that the amount of Pre-Health( pre-med, pre-dental, pre-pharmacy) is around 43 percent (our freshman class size is around 1299 kids). The vast majority of those kids, 90 percent of the 43 percent, are pre-med. That means the amount of pre-meds at Emory is around 39 percent. I think that percentage is far greater than the amount of pre-health kids at other top schools who are known for "Pre-Health schools" (ie JHU).</p>
<p>The percentage of premeds at any top college is going to be huge. The enrollment in Cornell’s intro gen chem class is 1000+ out of 3000 incoming freshman. Cornell’s premeds come from only 3 out of it’s 7 colleges but if you factor in all 7 colleges (including its business school, architecture school, hotel administration school, etc.), that’s still a 33%+ premed rate. And Cornell isn’t even known for premed.</p>
<p>I heard there are about 600 freshmen at Harvard who take the intro bio class. The situation is the same everywhere.</p>
