UMich Medical School Question

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>This question may have been answered before and I have done some research but havnt quite gotten an answer sufficient for me. </p>

<p>Is it easier or harder to get into the UM medical school if you are an Undergraduate UM student? I saw that every year Michigan accepts about 50 students from Michigan itself(saw it on michigan's site) but i am not quite sure if this number is a good representation of how different colleges are treated by UM.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>It really depends on how you look at it. UofM does prefer to take its own students… however, nearly every UofM pre-med who makes it to the application stage will apply to the UM medical school, which means that there will be a lot of rejected UofM undergrads.</p>

<p>It is easier, but only for qualified students. Those with sub 3.7 GPAs have virtually no chance of getting into Michigan Medical. I would estimate that only 100 or so premeds with 3.8 GPAs or better apply to Michigan Medical annually. Of those, I would expect the acceptance rate into Michigan Medical to be much higher than similar applicants from other universities. I would also expect the acceptance rate for those students to be higher at Michigan Medical school than at any other top 10 or even top 20 Medical school.</p>
