<p>Hi I was accepted to Cornell, Tufts, and Carnegie Mellon University</p>
<p>Tufts premed acceptance into medical school is 75% according to their website can someone tell me how accurate this data (since i know it gets skewed by premed weed outs, in other words tufts makes it so less ppl apply)</p>
<p>Also can anyone tell me why I should choose tufts over Cornell (67% premed acceptance but it comes with prestige) or why I shouldnt choose tufts</p>
<p>same goes for CMU (85% premed acceptance into med schools)</p>
<p>Also can anyone let me know why kinds of med schools Tufts students get into?? maybe of the most recent year..</p>
<p>The admit rates varies from year to year, but 75% would be on the low side for Tufts. </p>
<p>Stats!
More than 3,000 Tufts applicants each year select Pre-med as one of their major interests (not that Pre-med is a major). This is a greater number of students aspiring to med school in our applicant pool alone than there are first-year seats in medical schools nationwide. So: the harsh reality of Pre-med EVERYWHERE is that most students that believe they are pre-med will not actually go to medical school. There are a lot of reasons for this: some won’t get in, some change interests, some learn of new avenues for their health oriented interests, but this is a fact you should understand when you are looking at life-science programs and Pre-med options anywhere.</p>
<p>Personally, I think one of the real strengths of the pre-health advising is that they don’t abandon you if you decide that medical school isn’t for you, or if you find Organic Chem more challenging than you expected. They take seriously the charge of finding you a career that works, irrespective of how your academic journey plays out. And, so that it gets said, potentially changing your mind about medical school is NOT somehow a failure. Watching a student discover an interest in infectious diseases in refugee camps or pediatric nursing or governmental health policy is pretty exciting. </p>

<p>Aside: I’m not sure what you mean by “comes with prestige.” Perhaps you can explain?</p>
