<p>How rigorous is it compared to other schools? How good is it as well? (it should be very good, since it is an ivy).</p>
<p>Also, if you are admitted into Cornell and complete their pre-med program, do you have a greater chance of being accepted into their medical school?</p>
<p>i heard that cornell has one of the highest premed acceptance rates to med schools or something</p>
<p>I heard that you are pretty much all set if you get above a 3.5 and do the other recommended stuff (ECs, etc.)</p>
<p>I found the exact statistic (from career services):</p>
<p>"In 2002 when there were fewer applicants; nationally and at Cornell, 81% of all Cornellians were accepted. In 2008 applications were up significantly and Cornell’s acceptance rate was 70%. </p>
<p>Eighty percent of those Cornellians with a GPA of 3.4 or better were accepted to medical school in 2008. Grade Point Average is one useful predictor of acceptance."</p>
<p>that % is for those who end up applying. i heard roughly 20% of the freshman premeds end up applying to med school, out of those with 3.4 and 30 mcat and above, over 80% get in.</p>
<p>ok thanks for the info</p>
