Which Med Schools Favor Applicants from their Undergrad Schools?

<p>Which medical schools favor applicants from their own undergraduate schools? Which schools don't, or actively discriminate against their own students? Can you also cite evidence? Thank you.</p>

2

<p>I have no evidence offhand, but I'm 95% sure Emory admits to favoring its own undergrads.</p>

3

<p>No such evidence exists.</p>

4

<p>How about schools that people generally think favor their own?</p>

5

<p>Generally, Internet posters always think every school favors its own, because they can't keep track of the difference between disproportionate matriculation/application and admission.</p>

<p>In my judgment, Duke*, WUSTL, and Chicago clearly favor their own. By reputation, so does Northwestern, but that might be an artifact of HPME. Hopkins, Columbia, Stanford are all reputed to punish their own -- but so is WUSTL, and that's a false reputation for WUSTL.</p>

<p>(*I am not very sure. They do weird things.)</p>

<p>bluedevilmike, I find it odd you insist that Emory has never admitted to preferring their own undergrads, yet while I was looking for a reference for it, I found a post by you yourself saying the same thing: "Many schools openly claim to favor their own -- Northwestern, Chicago, and Emory come to mind."</p>

<p>That was a misstatement on my part, sorry. What I should have said was: "Students at several schools have told me that their undergraduate admissions offices claim that the medical school there favors their own."</p>

<p>Creighton...it's not as strong as it once was, as they've gotten rid of all their "guaranteed admissions" criteria they had for their undergraduates at one time, but there still remains a very strong link.</p>

<p>I think JHU Med does favor its own. I saw a statistic somewhere that showed that more incoming students come from JHU undergrad than any other school. Sure, more people from JHU apply, but the number is quite large. I think they do favor their own to some extent.</p>
