<p>“In general, it is likely that UCB students do not fare very well. They have to deal with the Calfornia medical schools (which are harder to get in), and their students may be too homogenious in the types of their achievement (likely similar to the case of MIT which recruit too many science/engineering talents who fight against each other academically to the expense of other development which is also important for medical school admission) so it is hard to stand out when their strength tend to be concentrated in fewer areas.”</p>
<p>Not true. MIT medical school placement is actually excellent, ranging 86-93%. When GPA reaches 3.3 (slightly above the average of MIT students), it is close to 100% placement, even better than Princeton. But the same thing cannot be said about Caltech.</p>
