<p>It takes some work to find and total all of these numbers but your counting is a bit off in this instance. For this single class at Yale Medical School, here are the undergraduate origins of the students:</p>

<p>Yale Medical School Class of 2012</p>

<p>12—Yale</p>

<p>[gap]</p>

<p>7----Stanford
5----Harvard
4----Columbia
3----Princeton, Cornell, Duke, MIT, Penn, U. of Georgia, U. of Notre Dame, U. of Washington
2----Amherst, Brown, Cal State, JHU, NYU, USC</p>

<p>This is, of course, just a single year at a single top medical school and I suspect that this difference in the number of Yale undergraduates compared to those from other top schools is not found every year. It’s likely that this year was a bit of an ‘outlier’ though it would not be surprising to find that Yale undergraduates offered admission to Yale Medical School are more likely to accept that offer… </p>

<p>Princeton graduates are among the most successful in the country in medical school admissions. In recent years about 93% of Princeton applicants have been admitted to medical school. Here are some recent statistics:</p>

<p>Year of Matriculation—Number of Applicants Accepted—% of Applicants Accepted</p>

<p>2006-----------------------107-----------------------------------------94.7%
2007-----------------------108-----------------------------------------93.1%
2008-----------------------114-----------------------------------------91.2%
2009-----------------------107-----------------------------------------93.0%
2010-----------------------123-----------------------------------------92.5%</p>

<p>(Average % Acceptance Rate Over Five Years = 93%)</p>

<p>In 2008 and 2009, Princeton students who applied to a Top 10 medical school were offered admission at a rate more than three times the overall admit rates at those schools.”</p>

<p>Nationally, about 30% of students taking the MCAT score in a range that makes them competitive for medical school admission. At Princeton it’s 80% and this, again, is among the highest in the nation.</p>

<p>It is important to note that only a handful of other schools in the country have Princeton’s record of success in medical school applications. </p>

<p>Yale applicants to medical school enjoy a success rate in the low 90% range, very similar to Princeton’s. </p>

<p>“Jones said: in the last decade, acceptance rates for Yale students and alumni applying to medical school have risen by about 10 percent, from 80 percent to about 90 percent. “</p>

<p>Harvard’s statistics aren’t reported publicly but are similar to Princeton’s and Yale’s. I suspect Stanford’s are similar as well but I can’t find any current reported numbers.</p>

<p>Here’s an analysis of how Princeton has compared to its peers in medical school admissions.</p>
