<p>Hi. I posted this in Smith's discussion board, but I thought reposting it here would give me a wider audience. With that being said...</p>
<p>I'm from California, and I got into both Smith and Mount Holyoke. I was wondering how many women pursue medical school education after graduating from either of those schools. Is it harder to get into compared to better known schools such as the UC's (University of California) or ivy leagues? Thanks.</p>
<p>Congrats!! You'll have a difficult decision to make!</p>
<p>"40 percent of alumnae advance to graduate schools within five years of graduation; approximately 67 percent within ten years of graduation. For the classes of 1999 - 2003, postgraduate institutions attended included Berkeley, Brown, University of Chicago, Columbia, Georgetown, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford, and Yale" </p>
<p>That's for ALL the graduate studies. I do not have statistics on the medical school matriculants; however, the health profession advising is solid, so most med school-seeking students seem to do well with the process. Biology is one of the more popular majors at MHC, so research opportunities are always available (this is extremely important if you're looking at MSTP MD/PhD programs.)</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
