<p>I’d actually be pretty surprised if sz 8-10 equated to an obese BMI. My BMI is 22 and I wear a 6. I’d have to gain 50lb or shrink 9in to have a BMI of 30, which is the obese cutoff. I really can’t imagine a ht/wt combo that leads to an obese BMI at size 8-10, although I don’t see why it wouldn’t be theoretically possible.</p>
<p>And while I don’t think BMI itself plays into med school acceptance, I’d be surprised if all med school adcoms (people!) were completely immune to the judgment cast on people who are obese.</p>
