[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is strongly considering a career in medicine.  I'm wondering how much choice of undergrad impacts med school acceptance.  I came across this for UVA:

https://www.scps.virginia.edu/post-baccalaureate-pre-medical-program/medical-school-acceptances

A 95% med school acceptance rate for grads is really impressive.  I'm struggling to find stats like that for other schools.  Does anyone know a good source where this information is shown?  I can easily find med school acceptance rates, but I'm looking for outplacement (or whatever).  It could be a distinguishing factor when choosing between options.  It also makes me think about schools known for grade deflation (BU) and that maybe they shouldn't be considered.[/quote]

UVA doesn't specifically track that data. The formula is pretty standard, high grades/MCAT, do your lab and clinical hours. Interview well and be what they want. My oldest majored in Chemistry and got in from UVA (many of his peers as well), my second is a 3rd year Bio-Chem and applying soon, expect he will get in. Again, have to have the grades/MCATs plus others or probably won't have a shot.[/quote]
