<p>which college or colleges has the higest
percentage of students getting admitted in
ivy league(harvard,princeton,cornell etc)
medical school or other good medical
schools?
And which majors are mostly accepted?</p>
<p>anyone,please answer:D</p>
<p>Be aware that the raw percentage might be very misleading, since some schools are suspected of “managing” their medical school applications to make themselves look good.</p>
<p>As long as you do good and meet all the requirements, it won’t matter much</p>
<p>Many colleges track the % of kids who get into one of their top 3 med school choices. The reality is: this doesn’t measure how many freshman pre-meds actually make it to senior year as pre-meds versus the % that gets weeded out. So, it’s all misleading. But, you can google for more.</p>
<p>amyharvard: your question does not have a straight answer.</p>
<p>For instance, let’s say Harvard has a 95% placement rate. Looks good, right? Well that IS good for those graduates who are applying. But how many incoming freshmen, dreaming of med school, dropped out of the Pre med track along the way? There’s no one tracking that number.</p>
<p>Plus, schools like HYP, etc. are extremely selective in general – they already include the cream of the crop among entering freshmen. Of course, they will naturally have higher rates of successful med school matriculants.</p>
<p>If you look at the entering classes of the top ten med schools, you see a broad sampling of colleges represented. The fact is, one does not need to go to a “name” med school as much as you might think.</p>
<p>@amyharvard, </p>

</p>
<p>you got some great replies, I’ll just add for your future reference, that there is no medical school at Princeton.</p>
<p>I’ll just add that, out of all applicants from almost all ivy league colleges, at least 3 out of 4 who got into medical schools attend their in-state public medical schools in the end.</p>
<p>

<p>Once I read from somewhere that like 600-700 freshmen at Harvard (its class size is like 1600?) took the introductory biology class. The class was so large that the university decided to break the class into different tracks after that year. I believe at least several hundreds out of these students dropped out of the premed track in the end for whatever reason it may be.</p>
<p>An anecdotal example: DS was at another Ivy. In freshman year, in his suite of 6, 4 were aspiring premeds. In the end, 2 continued on the premed track and attended a medical school. What career paths for the other two “drop-out”? One is in Harvard Law and the other in i-banking.</p>
<p>Most 2nd generation medical students apply straight to the state colleges.</p>
<p>^ Any particular reason? Is “financial” one of them?</p>
<p>BTW, in the anecdotal example I referred to, the two who were never aspiring premeds happen to be from the wealthiest family. The two attending medical schools now were 2nd generations. The one in the law school were not 2nd generation but is financially as “poor” (not really that poor, just relative to the other really rich ones) as the two who were in medical school. This is of course an anecdotal example only.</p>
<p>I read this joke that was made up by a professor before:
1st generation: engineering or business/accounting. (some in sciences?)
2nd generation: professional schools like medical school.
3rd generation: social sciences, leadership roles in society, law school?
4th generation: humanity, or even as specialized as art history.</p>
<p>When that professor wrote this, i-banking was as popular as it is today. (many years ago.)</p>
<p>Besides the issues pointed out earlier, the other fact to remember is that mcat is worth a whole lotta points in med school admissions; perhaps as much as gpa(?). And since HYP et al have cornered the market on top test takers – it’s a requirement for undergrad admissions – those same students will also do extremely well on the mcat (and lsat), and indeed they do. But the point is not that HYP is making those mcat scores any higher than many other colleges, its just that such students are great test-takers to begin with.</p>
<p>HYP undergrad may beat Emory in med admissions for example – just a guess, bcos I don’t know, but I’d be willing to bet that the Emory Scholars who apply to med schools do as well, if not better, than the “average” HYP candidate. (Emory Scholars requires much higher test scores – HYP level – than Emory admissions by regular decision.)</p>
<p>To support bluebayou’s point of "HYP et al have cornered the market on top test takers, the following is copied-and-pasted from a CC post Today. (for one of Ivies.)</p>
<p>It is interesting to know that 25% of matriculants have 800 SAT Math, 25% have 790 or 800 SAT Critical Reading. (10% have 800 SAT Critical Reading – which is rumored to have a higher correlation with MCAT scores. So for this college, there are about 130-140 matriculated students per class who have 800 SAT verbal coming in (and about 350 students with SAT verbal 790 or 800.) There are about 200 students who are premeds in the end.)</p>
<p>It is also interesting to know that only 14.9% applicants with 760-800 SAT Critical Reading got accepted – This also points to the fact that it is likely many accepted students are very good at building up EC during the college admission cycle also, as the other 85.1% 760-800 SAT Critical Reading scorers lose out because of their weakness in EC. (I skipped SAT math for applicants because it is likely that SAT Math is not as important as SAT Critical Reading for UG admission unless it is for the admission to tech/science schools. It is said the reading/writing skills, rather than the math skill, that can help a student more at a liberal-art-bent college, and most Ivies are like this.)</p>
<p>A. SAT Percentile Distribution, Matriculants</p>
<p>Percentile 10th: 25th: 50th: 75th: 90th
Verbal 650: 700: 740: 790: 800
Math 660: 700: 760: 800: 800
Writing 660: 710: 750: 790: 800</p>
<p>B. SAT Critical Reading</p>
<p>Score: Number of Applicants: Number of Admits: Number of Matriculants: Rate of Admission</p>
<p>below 500: 587: 2: 1: 0.3%
500-590: 2250: 27: 23: 1.2%
600-690: 6617: 318: 227: 4.8%
700-750: 6964: 675: 428: 9.7%
760-800: 5359: 800: 472: 14.9%</p>
<p>^ I should have written that the above numbers were posted by T26E4, a frequent CC contributor:</p>

<p>JHS in that thread has a very good point as well. He kind of posted that about “1 in 4 or 5” high scorers got accepted to these colleges, and a majority of high scorers still fall through the crack. I think this is very similar to the medical school admission. You are a high scorer, right? You ain’t that special and valuable! Without a high score? You probably do not have a chance.</p>
<p>OP,
This is not the question to ask and not the way to choose your UG. This way is very misleading. You are after the highest collge GPA and the highest MCAT score. You should find the best fit for yourself personally. Happy UG will produce the best stats. Miserable person at any UG (including Ivy) is not going to make it.</p>
