Pre-Med Stats

<p>I agree with the poster above, this is a very difficult question to have answered. For one thing, the overwhelming majority of ‘pre-med’ students don’t actually make it to med school, so you would have to account for these people and the fact that they lower the school’s ‘med school applicant/aspirant’ MCAT and GPA average. </p>

<p>In my opinion (I am a UF alum and currently in professional school at UF), your undergraduate school is for most purposes irrelevant to graduate school admissions. If you come to UF as an undergrad and truly work hard AND have the right aptitude, you should be able to earn a sufficient GPA and do well enough on the MCAT to get into med school, which is an accomplishment in and of itself. </p>

<p>As far as helping you get into a top school, whether you go to UF or UWF (not to knock the Argonauts), it really doesn’t matter, it primarily just comes down to your GPA and your MCAT. That being said, UF does have very good research opportunities for high achievers and volunteer opportunities at SHANDS, which are both pluses on med school applications.</p>
