[quote=Anonymous]William & Mary had 153 applicants to MD schools.

65%-85% of applicants with a B+ or higher GPA get accepted into MD medical schools.

99-130 students per year from W&M are accepted.

There are the following degrees conferred roughly per year: 157 Bio majors, 51 Chemistry majors, 93 Health Science majors, 69 Neuroscience majors, 27 Sociology majors

The AAMC reports that 57% of applicants major in the biological sciences, 17% are health science majors, 3% are humanities majors, 8% have a physical science major, 9% have a social science major

So these majors represent 95% of all medical school applicants.  Looking at W&M, 397 degrees were conferred in these majors.  Obviously not every student who majored in these areas applied to medical school.  But even if you assumed EVERY student who graduated from W&M wanted to apply to medical school:

397 degrees conferred, 157 in biology.  57% of AAMC applicants have a bio degree, so of the 153 applicants to allopathic schools, you would expect 87 to be bio majors.

There were 99-130 acceptances.  Assuming 57% of these acceptances were in the biological sciences  you are left with 56-74 biology major acceptances out of 157 bio students who graduated from W&M.

You have an extremely high probability to be accepted into medical school with a biology degree from W&M.
