[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amherst, Swarthmore, and Williams all top for pre-med.

Note where they are sending their students. Those three send a number to Harvard and Penn. Pomona also strong, but sends to UCLA and UCSF. All Tier 1 med schools, but there is generally an East vs. West coast split as far as feeders. [/quote]
Don’t really see the difference. Not like UCSF is a bad med school, it’s a Harvard Hopkins equivalent. Pomona is basically the same as swat for med. it has 115 versus 118 and swarthmore is slightly smaller. These lists change little by little every year. Next year, we’ll see Amherst below swat or completely different placements.[/quote]

I think the point is about East versus West Coast feeders, which is a fair point to consider.[/quote]
Not really. [url] https://magazine.pomona.edu/2024/spring/birds-of-a-feather-at-harvard-med/[/url]. This is really just nonsensical east coast bias that spreads all over this forum. Going to Williams isn’t going to be a detriment to a UCSF hopeful, nor Pomona for a Harvard Med hopeful.[/quote]

I think the other source is based on feeder school stats, which are of course relevant to this question. Can one get into Harvard Med from Pomona? Of course. Is it more likely than gaining admission to a top West Coast feeder? No, based on the numbers.[/quote]

Exactly. It's a numbers game. [/quote]
