<li>Does Georgetown have a good pre-med program?</li>
<li>Is it extremely difficult to get an A or B in a science class?</li>
<li>Does anyone know what percent of students get accepted into medical school?</li>
</ol>
<p>If anyone could answer ANY of these questions, I’d be really thankful!</p>
<p>Yes it has an excellent pre-med program in two ways: the core pre-medical curriculum is comprehensive and rigorous and the advising system is strong.</p>
<p>It's difficult to get an A or B in a science class in that attaining such grades require a lot of work, but most students get As and Bs in their science classes--I'd say most get half and half. This is only indicative of the strength of the program and understood by medical school admissions committees. I don't think you'll find a school where most students get As in pre-med classes. If you do, it probably means the program is weak.</p>
<p>The acceptance rate for medical school is about 90%. People debate this number because this is the percentage of students accepted out of all those who complete the pre-med curriculum and are recommended by the pre-med committee, not the percent of students who declared pre-med as freshmen and later applied to medical school. It is the most accurate way to measure success in acceptance to medical school.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
<p>Yes, jp26, that helps a lot! I couldn't find any statistics pertaining to my specific question, so thanks for that and your overall response! It's appreciated!</p>
