<p>I've been hearing that the University of Michigan School of Medicine has a policy of not accepting applicants who already went to Michigan for their undergrad Pre-Med. Does anyone know if this is true? </p>
<p>If so, why? And would you recommend going to UM for Pre-Med or Med?</p>
<p>There’s no way of knowing for sure what schools are “good premed schools”</p>
<p>University of Michigan is fallaciously ranked as a top undergraduate school based of the money their graduate programs get for research and developments. UMich has a great business, medical, law, and more schools. These are all graduate programs. Attending their undergraduate institution will not make the greatness of the grad school rub off on you. With that being said, U of M as a whole boasts strong undergraduate education in all fields and has a competitive class every year. Med Schools know of this and U of M is known as a strong school to be applying from.</p>
<p>It would seem to be incredibly silly to eliminate the flagship University students from the pool of applicants. </p>
<p>While there may be some sound reasoning to avoid allowing students to stay at the same UG/Graduate programs or Med School/Residency since that does lead to be of tunnel vision of ideas, I can’t think of any good reason why UG and Med School should apply similar guidelines.</p>
<p>Entering Class of 2010 appears to have had 50 UMichigan grads out of an entering class of 170. Over the last 5-6 years it looks to be pretty steady at 25-30% of entering MS1 are Wolverines (38-51)</p>

<p>^Michigan definitely prefer their own vs others with slightly higher stats. It also looks like they do not like OH kids at all. Keep in mind, it is public school, how they can turn their own down and give preferences to OOS? Taxpayers will not let this happen.</p>
<p>All of Michigan’s graduate and professional schools prefer Michigan graduates. It’s great because it gives us a better chance to attend top programs. Also many undergraduate students can take courses offered in the medical school, law school, etc. This is also an advantage that Michigan as well as many top schools have. </p>

<p>U of Mich definitely accepts their own undergrads. The real question is if those undergrads end up going elsewhere or staying at UMich.</p>
