<p>You can find that info but it will be meaningless for at least 2 reasons [ul][<em>]Students are not the same at all colleges. It should not be a surprise that Stanford students have a higher acceptance rate than the local branch of your state U.[</em>]Some colleges screen applicants and only write a favorable committee letter for their strongest students. Not surprisingly, their acceptance rate is pretty high.[/ul] Amherst has an excellent premed guide online that I suggest you take the time to read thru in order to educate yourself about the process and how to maximize your chances. They say in part

Amherst College has no magic touch that automatically elevates a student’s chances of entering medical school simply by virtue of the student’s coming to Amherst; no college or university has that kind of magic touch. What does elevate a student’s chances is to go to an institution (1) that energizes and challenges that particular student academically, while providing good teaching and academic support so the student can meet the challenge satisfactorily; and (2) that provides opportunities for accomplishment and leadership in extracurricular areas. Of course the student must take advantage of these educational and extracurricular opportunities - in the end it’s the student’s accomplishments that count, not the name of the institution.
