<p>Hi everyone, visited Columbia today, fell in love nuff said. </p>
<p>I'm going to be applying this year and I noticed that Columbia matriculants to these medical schools is really low compared to other schools which confuses me because I mean these are good universities and I know these two lists are not like say all end all but I'm just curious as to where these other pre-meds went since Columbia is a top notch school with a good pre-med program with a I'm guessing here but >80% acceptance rate. Anyone care to enlighten me?</p>
<p>hey, im a premed student here and our medical school acceptance rate is over 90%. im a bit confused as to where you got the >80% statistic? while premed here isnt easy, we do very well with medical school acceptance</p>
<p>OP, you can’t use generalize about the placement rate from looking at two mid-to-upper level med schools. (WashU’s a great med school, but it’s not Harvard or Columbia). As iwanttocollege09 said, the placement rate from Columbia undergrad (and postbac) is over 90%.</p>
<p>hey thanks both of you guys, thats pretty much all I needed know. I know I shouldn’t generalize but that was all the information I had at the time. Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but can somebody PLEASE find me a source for those statistics, I’m in a bit of a crisis right now and need to convince my parents to let me apply to Columbia!</p>
<p>Any statistics about why Columbia is great at pre-med? PLEASE =(</p>
<p>Not sure where to find the statistics but the 91-93% range is fairly accurate. Many of my friends are pre-med and they’ve spoken to the pre-med advisor, Megan Rigney, and she’s communicated an approximate range for statistics.</p>
<p>Take these stats with a huge grain of salt. The advisers actively discourage borderline candidates from applying to medical school. 70% of seniors take a year off (those interested in premed) and as you can imagine they aren’t part of the statistics.</p>
