<p>@hidall @warblersrule Northwestern claims that 80% of their undergrads who apply to med school get in. Duke hasn’t replied to me yet. I’d say 80% is pretty damn good. Any estimates for Duke?</p>
<p>And what are the facts, @hidall?</p>
<p>So far, you’ve just made assertions without data and haven’t answered the questions I asked you.</p>
<p>BTW, on Duke’s website, they say their med school admit rate is 85%. Maybe it’s just me, but I wouldn’t consider that 5% difference “significantly more success”.</p>
<p>If you want the schools with really high med school admit rate, both Harvard and Rice evidently have a med school admit rate >90% (better than some other HYPSM/Ivies with equal or better reputations, BTW).</p>
<p>Um, Northwestern has significantly more diversity than Duke because they have schools that Duke doesn’t – world-renowned music, theater and journalism. Few of those kids desire to go to med school. </p>
<p>Only someone without critical thinking skills would compare the raw number of kids going to med school from each place and use the total school as the denominator. The relevant measure is what % of those who want to go to med school get there. </p>
<p>@PurpleTitan Can you provide stats for Harvard and Rice?</p>
<p>Woah</p>
<p>Does Rice discourage/prevent less qualified applicants from applying to med school? I know that Hopkins does. Duke does not. I don’t know about NU.</p>
<p>Hopkins definitely does. In the email NU sent me they said they don’t. That’s one thing I was concerned about. Some schools post > 90 percent acceptance rate to med school but they don’t include ppl who dropped out or didn’t have a chanxe in the first place.</p>
<p>From what I understand, Rice and Harvard do not prevent any kids from applying to med school. Rice’s admission rate is from their website. Harvard’s as well as whether either of those schools prevent some applicants from submitting was from one of those pre-med websites like studentdoctor.net.</p>
<p>Apparently the average GPA of students applying to med school from Rice was 3.71 in 2011. That’s way too high to be organic in my opinion. They must be preventing students from applying. </p>

<p>average GPA of northwestern graduates was 3.42 and Duke graduates was 3.44 according to gradeinflation.com. Are those good for med school? I know its good to have 3.6 + but NW and Duke are really good universities. </p>

<p>realcoolman, you’ve got the same chances as anyone else applying to those schools - which is somewhere in the 10-15% range. But if you’re smart enough to be a viable candidate at NU or Duke, you know that “chance threads” are pointless.</p>
