<p>Except MIT applicants display very little self-selection and are still outperforming the national average. 140 out of 190 students applied to Harvard. Heck even 71 students applied to UCLA. I’m willing to bet a lot of those applicants weren’t even CA applicants. To have a 12% acceptance rate to Harvard when nearly all of your premeds are applying is impressive no matter how you slice and dice it. </p>
<p>The only other school that I know of that releases data in this format is Berkeley. Note the much lower applicant numbers (despite a much higher number of total students and med school applicants). Despite the self-selection, Berkeley applicants still fair worse at top med schools.</p>
