<p>Do med schools compile date of what % of the incoming freshman class came from UG X, UG Y, or UG Z? I'm currently writing a persuasive essay about how it matters more about scores and ECs versus your UGs reputation when applying to med school. If they don't have data sets like that, would that kind of information be readily available upon request when emailing someone from admissions of that UG?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, they definitely do. The first years are not called freshman though, they are called MS1 or M1 or in conversation they call them first years. I am sure you can find it readily on their web sites. However, this should not be influencing your own decision about choosing UG. It would be incorrect approach. Also, choosing UG for “reputation” is not right either. You should choose the UG that fits your personlity and wide range of interests the best, and that strategy will work much better than any other.</p>
<p>The point of gathering this info is purely for me to write a persuasive essay on the matter. I have found many schools that would fit me better than Harvard or Yale (despite the fact that I wouldn’t even be accepted there). Where would I find such info? I haven’t seen any on any of the “top” med schools sites.</p>
<p>If you do not see on their sites, I do not know if it is appropriate to ask adcoms or not. D. has contacted adcoms for questions about pre-reqs. They were helpful. She never contacted them for infornation gathering purposes. Let’s see mayb somebody has a better idea. You might need to change a topic of your essay.</p>
<p>I found [MDapplicants.com</a> - Home](<a href=“http://mdapplicants.com%5DMDapplicants.com”>http://mdapplicants.com) …would I be able to use this, to a less accurate extent, of how many students get accepted and to where? Would this be a reliable source?</p>
<p>Was that topic assigned by the teacher? 
Even if it was (and somehow 
I really doubt it) , you ain’t gonna find that data, and certainly not in that form. So, if you chose the topic, choose another one.</p>
<p>No. It would not be a reliable source. Self-selected , wholly un-verified and horribly incomplete.</p>
<p>Okay I’ll select another then. I chose it because I thought it would be interesting and insightful, but if colleges don’t list that kind of stuff, I’m out of luck I suppose…</p>
