So many of these schools weed out all but 10% of the "pre meds."

It'd not like you matriculate there and go to medical school 4 yrs later.

I assume all the state schools and all ivies weed out, but how does one know if a liberal arts school weeds out or not?

They all weed out.  Amherst graduates about 500 kids a year and sends about 50 Amherst grads to medical school each year and number includes anyone who applies to medical school after Amherst (so for 2026, the ~50 will include grads from 26, 25, 24, and on down--generally it's about a 5 yr spread) AND reapplicants.   And then 75% of this 50 will get in.

UNC will weed out even more kids. They'll have 2000 who start college bio each year. They'll run a curve where less than 50% get an A (so essentially 50% are eliminated from medical school then and there) and in in then end they have 500 apply to medical school (again, this number includes reapplicants) and of those 500, 55% are successful.
