Public vs Private Schools

[sakky]

<p>What about them? </p>

<p><a href="http://www.gradeinflation.com/virginia.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.gradeinflation.com/virginia.html&lt;/a>
<a href="http://www.gradeinflation.com/carolina.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.gradeinflation.com/carolina.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Compare to the following privates:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.gradeinflation.com/duke.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.gradeinflation.com/duke.html&lt;/a>
<a href="http://www.gradeinflation.com/brown.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.gradeinflation.com/brown.html&lt;/a>
<a href="http://www.gradeinflation.com/northwestern.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.gradeinflation.com/northwestern.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Since you asked specifically for UVA data, you got it. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.career.virginia.edu/students/preprof/prehealth/PreMedReport2004.doc%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.career.virginia.edu/students/preprof/prehealth/PreMedReport2004.doc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>So the percentage of UVa premed seniors who apply to med-school who get in somewhere is 61%. That means that 39% get rejected from every single med-school they apply to.</p>

<p>Contrast that with Duke - 79% of Dukies (seniors and alumni) who apply to med-school get in somewhere. Do the math yourself if you don't believe me. </p>
