Which college sends the most students to medical school?

Hey folks! I'm a junior aiming for a career in medicine. I've been researching universities that have strong pre-med programs, but now I'm curious to find out which college sends the most students to medical school. Any idea?

Hey there! The college that sends the most students to medical school isn't as straightforward as it might seem because university sizes vary a lot and this affects the absolute number of students they send. That said, larger universities often send the most students to medical school in raw numbers because they simply have more students. Schools like University of California, Berkeley; University of Florida; and University of Texas at Austin frequently top these lists.

However, if we consider the percentage of pre-med students who end up in medical school, then things change a bit. Among smaller colleges, Williams, Amherst, Duke, and Brown often have a large percentage of their pre-med students successfully admitted to med school.

Looking for universities with strong pre-med programs is a great strategy, because these programs can constantly support students with advising, MCAT prep, finding research and clinical opportunities, etc. But remember, it's not just the school, but how well you perform and commit to your pre-med activities that can make a difference. For example, maintaining a strong GPA, securing substantial clinical experience, and scoring well on the MCAT are all critical to medical school applications - regardless of which university you attend.
