<p>Looking for med school acceptance rates for Northeastern University, University of Conn, and The College of New Jersey. I have checked their web sites but cannot find them. Anyone have any thoughts about the best of these three to get into med school all things being equal (grades, MCAT, etc.)</p>
<p>There is no public source for this kind of data. If it’s not on the school’s website, it’s simply not available.</p>
<p>Now for the part you don’t want to hear—even if it were on the school’s website, the information is useless. Why? Because there is no uniform method of calculating med school acceptance rates and colleges <gasp!> manipulate the data to make themselves look better to potential students.</gasp!></p>
<p>For example, does the rates include only graduating seniors? Or does it include not ony seniors but also alumni for up to 5 years post graduation? Does it include post-bacc students?</p>
<p>Does rate count only US allopathic medical school acceptances? US MD and DO acceptances? Carribean or other foreign med schools? Naturopathic medical schools? </p>
<p>Does the school use a committee letter recommendation process to prevent [anyone they who they believe are] non-viable candidates from applying?</p>
<p>None of the three school you’ve listed will make any difference in your potential to get admitted to med school. None of them will give any special advantages during the admission process.</p>
<p>Choose the school that offers you the best combination of fit, academics, opportunities and affordability.</p>
<p>Fit because happier students = better grades. Affordability because med school is expensive and there is very, very little grant aid or scholarships to help pay for it.</p>
<p>Actually, my favorite manipulation is to ask students “Of the schools you were admitted to (i.e. not counting any of the schools you applied to and were not admitted), are you attending one of your top 3 choices” and then state “85% of our graduates matriculate at one of their top 3 schools.”</p>
