you have more applicants at UVA getting ACCEPTED into medical school then those that even applied at Duke...so what is it you are trying to tell me.

<p>Give me a break. Duke has about 6500 undergrads. UVa has about 13,000. So obviously Virginia is going to have more total applicants. It has more total people applying, and therefore more total people admitted. When you just have more people, obviously you are going to have more of everything. That doesn't mean that if YOU go to Virginia, you are going to get anything. That's like saying that if I buy lots and lots of lottery tickets, I stand a greater chance of winning. Sure, of course you do, but that doesn't mean that each individual ticket has a good chance of winning.</p>
<p>The bottom line is if you want to go to med-school, you want to go to the school that gives you the greatest percentage chance of getting in. A lot of Virginia people get in. But a lot of Virginia people also don't get in. So if you go to Virginia, which group are you going to belong to? </p>
<p>But fine, have it your way. If you think that Virginia is easier than Duke, than why is it that Virginia has a lower premed placement rate than does Duke?</p>
