<p>Hi, I was wondering does anyone know the statistics of which schools have premed programs with the highest number of graduates that get accepted into at least 1 medical school? Rice has posted that 90% (90 out of 116 people) of their senior class last year got accepted into med schools, but I also read in a lot of places that Yale is the #1 premed in terms of getting its graduates into at least 1 med school...any ideas? Right now I'm in a dilemma between Stanford and Yale (and Princeton, but their grade deflation policy had me taken aback), thanks for all your input!</p>
<p>90/116= 90%?</p>
<p>Nothing against Rice's mathematics :)</p>
<p>i don't think the acceptance statistic should be taken into consideration as much as which school you like better (the weather is drastically different for example).</p>
<p>also, from reading other threads i found that these statistics shouldn't be taken so seriously.</p>
<p>for example, in the thread
<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-student-topics/297574-what-schools-have-highest-med-school-acceptance-rate.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-student-topics/297574-what-schools-have-highest-med-school-acceptance-rate.html</a></p>
<p>Bigredmed:
"For example there are numerous (generally smaller but not always) schools who pre-screen their pre-med students before they apply and basically only allow those students who are extremely, extremely competitive for admission to apply. Such practices thus inflate their acceptance rate, but also means that other schools who don't screen are at a disadvantage because any student could apply, even with no chance at getting in, thus hurting that schools rate."</p>
