Check out the SDN article this week. Looks like Southwestern is in great company at the bottom of this rank.
"Of the 141 schools surveyed, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Duke, University of Pennsylvania and Stanford all rank in the bottom twenty. The schools with the highest social mission scores, on the other hand, include all three historically black colleges surveyed Morehouse College, Meharry Medical College and Howard University along with a slew of public universities, such as the University of Kansas, Michigan State University, and the University of Mississippi."

"The survey, says Prescott, produces an inaccurate and limited picture. Medical schools meet societys needs in many ways through their integrated missions in medical education, research and patient care. He points to the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, which educates the military physicians who treat service men and women but ranks in the bottom twenty."
with your application!
