Some people on DCUM seem adamant and insistent on a weird narrative about W&M. They’re determined to deny the school produces positive outcomes, even when data is presented. Have seen it recently on this post about med school, another recently on IR. It’s very bizarre!

That is bizarre but does not come close to the bizarreness of people suggesting UVA is a community college.

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.

Med school counselors have repeatedly said you cannot trust any data on med school admission rates from undergrads. They aren't well monitored or overseen for accuracy. So take all info with a grain of salt as to who is getting into med schools from particular undergraduate institutions.

I also wouldn't believe anything from anonymous posters here throwing out numbers with zero citations.
