<p>How good is the program? How good is medical school admission rates to top colleges from here? Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m looking for both MD admissions and PhD admissions.</p>
<p>Its a good program and the rates are dependent on the quality of the students not the school itself. That being said I’m sure UC has great rates.</p>
<p>U of Chicago is one of the best schools in the country, period. However, they have a reputation for major grade deflation which could be really stressful for a premed. Most people I know avoided UC for premed for that reason and a few who attended ended up switching half way.</p>
<p>I’d rather apply to their med school…</p>
<p>it’s not too bad. science courses are curved to a B- and if you study it’s pretty easy to get above that.</p>
<p>The percentage of kids who get into Medical school is around mid 60’ish%.</p>
<p>Obviously its no Duke or upper Ivies for premed but its still ok.</p>
<p>^^ upper ivies? please…</p>
<p>Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn and Columbia</p>
<p>Undeniably superior statistics, even with the marginal effects of screening.</p>
<p>Brown is one of the top 5 universities in the country to have their premeds gain acceptance into medical school. Penn nor Columbia are any of them.</p>
<p>Brown is more selective than Penn and as selective as Columbia, so I really don’t know what you are talking about. Then again, that is not a subject worth discussing anyway. In addition, most know that UPenn (and Cornell) have traditionally been the trash can of ivy hopefuls who get rejected elsewhere. Brown only loses in cross admits to Harvard, Princeton, Yale and non-ivy Stanford (officially and according to Dean of Admissions James Miller)</p>
<p>Clearly undeniably.</p>
<p>Penn is the trash can of ivy hopefuls? Funny, all this time I thought Penn and Columbia sat just behind HYP on the Ivy train.</p>
<p>I guess all this time you thought wrong. Funny, right ?</p>
<p>Admission rates for Penn have been up and down for years and never lower than Brown’s and only higher than Cornell’s, “on the ivy train”.</p>
<p>2008 Penn - 21 % , Brown -15.8 %
2009 Penn - 20.8% , Brown -14.6 %
2010 Penn - 17.7% , Brown -13.8 %
2011 Penn - 15.9 %, Brown -13.5 %
2012 Penn - 16.4%, Brown -13.0 %
2013 Penn - 17.11%,Brown - 10.8%
2014 Penn - 14.2 %, Brown - 9.3 %</p>
<p>But let’s go back to Chicago, which is the OP’s concern. Most people would not choose it as a premed choice. Awesome school, anyway.</p>
<p>Do you know that Penn is ranked number 4 this year?</p>
<p>Where does Brown sit? 16? Hate to break it to you, but Brown ranked lower than Cornell.</p>
<p>Just because your precious little school chooses its candidate based on how attractive they are does NOT make it a superior school to Penn. Why else do you think you are “strongly encouraged” to submit a photo of yourself? Sure its selective… just not selective for qualities that foster higher education.</p>
<p>Penn has Wharton. Brown has frisbee/football/ lunch only lawns.
Penn has the first US Med school that is currently ranked 3. Brown has a well dressed student body…</p>
<p>You go ahead and convince all of CC that Brown is a better choice for Premed than Penn.</p>
<p>I will say that while acceptance rates in themselves could be argued against, I looked it up and Brown does “win” the battle of cross accepted students on the undergrad level. 2/3 choose brown. My problem is that most of my view of brown and penn is from a graduate and overall university level. I really don’t know much about the undergrads.</p>
<p>They are both great schools, neither of which will hold you back, and neither of which is the OP interested in for this thread :D</p>

<p>jasonInNy, you can not be taken serious.</p>
<p>mmmcdowe, Penn is a research powerhouse and its med school rivals Harvard and Hopkins. I was talking from an undergrad stand point.</p>
<p>And yes…I did not mean to hijack the thread :)</p>
