There has been an exponential rise in the number of applicants applying to medical school in the past few years. Admission is getting competetive each year. For the up coming cycle, it is projected that only 27% of the applicants will be accepted. If your GPA is below 3.5 - start praying NOW!

Good luck!

P.S. If you notice this notice on this notice board, then you will notice that this notice is not worth being noticed at all.

relax, keep smiling, and follow your dreams...

THIS IS UTTER NONSENSE. IT IS VERY CRUEL OF YOU TO POST SUCH DRIVEL. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

Don't believe me? see http://www.aamc.org/data/facts/2004/2004summary.htm for the facts.

FACT: You're wrong.

The number of applicants has risen by less than 3% in the last 12 years, while the number of positions has risen by 0.6%. Last year there were 35,735 applicants for 16,648 spots.

Where did you get your numbers, troll-y?

FACT: a newcomer to SDN with 10 posts who also joined in MAY 2005 is unlikely to post legitimate information, and more likely to be a troll.

(On a side note *hypocrisy-check*: As a bonafide member since April 2005, I surely know what I am talking about! :laugh: )
