<p>I'm interested in going to medical school and got into the below universities for undergrad. But how many of their pre-meds get into medical school? It would help me decide my final college since a good percentage means the college is doing something right.</p>
<p>NYU
Boston U
UC Berkeley
UCLA
George Washington
St. John's</p>
<p>I googled and googled but couldn't find any websites with rankings and numbers. If anyone has any, please send them along.</p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
<p>Try putting your question on the pre-med forum. </p>
<p>Berkeley is your best (probably most rigorous) school, although UCLA and BU are great for pre-med too. It’s all about your gpa and MCAT. You don’t even need to be “pre-med” to get into med school. I also heard some schools have a cut-off b/c they want a higher rank on that list you can’t find.</p>
<p>Try a search on google for “top feeder colleges to medical school”. There’s a list that the Wall Street Journal produced back in 2005 that might be helpful. Sometimes colleges provide their data on how many of their pre-med applicants got into medical school. So to get very specific you may want to ask each of the colleges on your list what their success rate has been.</p>
<p>But as the previous poster notes, all of this may not be of help to you in making a definite decision. Grades and MCAT scores count for a great deal. So if the college offers the typical science and math courses that matter most (e.g. a strong biology/chemistry sequence), and you do well in them (taking them in whatever major) and score well on your MCAT, you’ll have a strong med school application.</p>
<p>From your list, you can’t go wrong with UC Berkeley or UCLA.</p>
<p>Thanks!!! I’ll try it in the pre-med forum.
Yea, right now I’m leaning towards Cal or BU. I google some more :)</p>
