<p>Hey there. I was wondering, does anybody know what is the acceptance rate to med school for NYU undergrads?</p>
<p>Also, Is NYU a good school to do your undergraduate studies at for aspiring MD's?</p>
<p>thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>There was a post on this forum a while ago.</p>
<p>If you can get a 3.5 and above a 30 on the MCATS, your chance of getting into a med school is around 95%</p>
<p>However, of the 300 premeds that start at NYU, about 50% will drop out of premed and pursue something else.</p>
<p>So I guess that means if you can survive that cut, you should be in good shape!</p>
<p>I would like to see the data that states that if you have above a 3.5 from NYU and an Mcat 30, you have a 95% chance of getting into med-school. I believe these numbers are greatly overstated for NYU premeds. But in any case, if you have the data, let's see it.</p>
<p>I would think that it would be more than 300 pre-med that start at NYU, considering that the NYU entering freshmen class is larger than 4,000 students.</p>
<p>i believe it was in the nyu forum</p>
<p>he said the information was given to him at an orientation at nyu</p>
<p>even if he did fudge the numbers, 3.5 at nyu is pretty solid and the same goes for an mcat score at 30 or higher</p>
<p>you might not get into schools like harvard med or feinberg but i'm sure there will be a medical school out there that will accept you</p>
<p>i'm not sure about the premed entering class myself...i too thought that number was a bit small</p>
<p>Well, look at it this way. Here is the full Berkeley 2x2 premed chart, in full-blown box format. As you can see, according to the data, even the very highest box for Berkeley premeds, which consist of Berkeley premeds with over a 3.9 GPA and over a 35 MCAT get into medical school at only a 92% rate. Hence, I find it EXTREMELY EXTREMELY difficult to believe that NYU premeds with only a 3.5 and above and only a 30 MCAT and above are getting in at a 95% rate. </p>
<p>i'm sure the numbers must have been inflated or skewed in some way then (orientation meetings are usually meant to attract those on the fence)</p>
<p>or the kid who presented it in the other forums did his own inflation</p>
<p>either way, a 3.5 and a 30 are the minimum if you are seriously looking at med school</p>
