[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be wary of 100% acceptance rate to medical schools. Some colleges choose which students they will support through the medical school application process. If this advisory board doesn’t  believe you have the qualifications for acceptance, they won’t allow you to participate in the recommendation process from their school. This is how schools skew their numbers.[/quote]

Very true. Again this path is best suited for students who have what it takes to be a physician but need a smaller environment to do the premed courses. Luckily most med schools are small so there isn't much of a need to be in a weed out environment to cut it in med school. Like discussed above the post bacc approach does not absolve you of having to do well on the MCAT and to pass all the exams and boards for medical school. I've read tons of posts of parents with kids at top schools who are struggling with the premed environments- most kids at top schools can go to med school period because presumably they have done well on the SATS and their AP science classes. It is really a matter of making sure they can succeed in the premed course work at the right place. [/quote]
