<p>Colleges are so cruel. They want our money and torture our minds with anxiety from waiting for three months. But, I can't wait to go next year!!</p>
<p>This is just the beginning. Good grad schools are even more competitive. About 10% of pre meds actually get into med school. Good jobs are more competitive yet again, the great ones want great grades from top grad schools. The heat is on.</p>
<p>Oberlin flooded me with s*hit last year and so did Reed. I applied ED to both and they gave me a thumbs down, both of them. Elmira said they had aid for Intels, I applied there, they say I have to pay 25 friggin Ks.
I send my application to BSC about two months ago and they havent replied to my past three query emails.
And yeah, Bates sent out their ED1 admission decision in like Dec 27. My friend was rooting for admissions but got deferred. He had only 4 days to complete his app. for Jan1st deadline colleges!!
This is just a glimpse into my college hating mind. More to come next week!!</p>
<p>It is a minor point, but the national pre-med acceptance rate is around 40-50%. It is hard to find an exact # because the websites all disagree. Typically a college will state their own acceptance rate and then say how much higher it is than the national rate. Some of the elites claim 75-80% acceptances.</p>
<p>This could be misleading in at least three ways. One, it may or not may not count how many people reapply after being turned down. Two, it isn't clear if it is an average across all schools or just that the person was accepted to at least one. Three, and this is the big one, most people probably give up on pre-med before applying to med school.</p>
