Universities with Highest Medical School Yields?

<p>Georgetown and Hopkins are both at around 90%.</p>

<p>percentages generally don't mean much without other information such as the number of applicants, the average gpa of applicants, among other things.</p>

<p>for example, if you see that the school's matriculation rate is 90%, number of applicants is 40, the average gpa is 3.8, and the average MCAT scores is 34, then you know that there is something fishy (especially if the school gives committee recommendation letters). </p>

<p>of course most schools that have these absurd % rates will never release this kind of information.</p>

<p>It's even harder to interpret than that. If the advising system discourages students with poorer prospects, even if it does not withhold letters, then the admission rate will be high. </p>

<p>Looking at the MCAT and gpa of all applicants, and those admitted, gives you a better handle on how students do at a particular college. Better still if you can also find the average gpa of all students. You would like the mean gpa of successful medical school applicants to be no higher than that of students as a whole. This means that an average student at the college has a good chance of getting in med school. This is the case a a few super elite colleges that publish their rates. </p>

<p>If you cannot find the information online, many colleges will present it at premed information sessions, or admitted student days.</p>

<p>The medical school admit rate alone, without the successful applicant gpa and mcat data, or college average gpa, means nearly nothing.</p>
