[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child will be going to UVA. Got rejected from Ivies. What are we missing by not going to Ivies for pre-med. Outside of pre-med, do Ivies and other top schools create employers and other schools create employees[/quote] Insofar as there is accurate information on pre-med student admission to medical school, UVA does not have as high of an acceptance rate or as high of a percentage of students attending medical school as Ivy League schools. However, medical school admissions is largely stat based, and a significant part of the difference is that the Ivy League schools simply will have a higher percentage of pre-meds with high MCATs and GPAs. The school itself is not really providing an advantage. I won't bother with the second part of your question.[/quote]
