<p>Is there a list of colleges with the highest percentage of premeds admitted to at least one med school?</p>
<p>If there is, what is the significance of this ranking?</p>

<p>1.) We've never found one.
2.) Minimal. Plenty of schools screen their premeds or have relatively selective reporting about the issue.</p>
<p>There has been lots of discussion about BDM's second point. It makes comparisons meaningless. Most students who have a low chance of getting into medical school do not apply. So a college can in effect manipulate the percent accepted figure by convincing these kids not to bother applying. This may be good advice- applying is expensive, time consuming and emotionally difficult. If you have little chance of getting in it may be a bad idea to go through with the application. So a school that gives good advice will have a "high" percent accepted and a school that encourages these apps will have a "low" percentage, but the odds for any given student will be the same at both places.</p>
<p>In short, these figures should not influence college selection. They just don't mean anything.</p>
<p>I agree with both previous posters....but ;) it IS helpful to have a graph showing GPA and MCAT of accepted/rejected students (to any med school) from a given UG school. That plus a current list of med schools attended is about all you can rely on for the reasons covered above.</p>
