<p>How will the PERCENTAGES differ when there is a vast difference in the number of people? Are you just proving my point? </p>
<p>I'll put it to you this way. Harvard has about 6700 undergrads. Yet Harvard gets about 90% of its premeds into med-school, compared to Duke's 79%. So here's a school that is even bigger than Duke, yet it enjoys a greater premed placement rate. Or contrast that with the premed placement rate at MIT, which is about 77%, despite the fact that MIT has about 4100 undergrads (so it's more than 40% smaller than Harvard). So here's a school that is substantially smaller than Harvard, yet also has a lower admit rate. So how does that jive with what you're saying? </p>
<p>Again, jeez, basic math concepts here...</p>
