# of Williams students who actually applied to Med. school?

<p>I asked a similar question once, but it was about how many percent Williams graduates got accepted into a med. school.
I am interested to know HOW MANY STUDENTS from Williams last year (or the most recent stat. you have) actually applied to med. school? And then how many got in?
I am just wondering if there is a certain amount of Williams students who tend to go to Med. school after graduation, for I heard most graduates from Williams tend to go toward the law or business direction.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Your best bet is to contact the pre-med advisor. </p>

<p>Medical school is not quite as difficult to get into as most people would have you believe. Medicine has lost some of its sex-appeal since lawyers and business people now routinely earn more money. Unless you have lousy grades, lousy MCAT scores, or a lousy personality, you will get into medical school. Don't get me wrong. These people do exist at Williams, but they are few and far-between.</p>

<p>From the site that mikeyd linked to above:</p>

<p>"In a typical year, sixty Williams students apply to medical school, two to veterinary schools, zero or one to dentistry, a few to schools of public health, and perhaps a few more to all other fields combined." With the information you received previously on the percentages of Williams students who are accepted, you can do the math.</p>
