Princeton is the hardest to get into.

Harvard is the easiest.

Where's the love for your undergraduate institution, man? I used a complicated algorithm involving complex, and often contradictory, criteria including a variety of advanced heuristics to come up with my ranking and it appears as though you just proceeded to sh¡t all over it. How come?
To the OP: Also, and this should go without saying, this list mirrors the list of top medical schools in the country (and likely the world).

I'm so sorry to hear that. I was fortunate enough to get a Princeton acceptance off an early waitlist. But I'm now torn between PMS and Notre Dame Medical College 😕. I think I'll choose PMS though!!!

Yeah, I don't understand why this concept is so difficult for people on this board. After all, it's not as if one has to be an English major to comprehend third grade grammar.

You, too, misused its/it's by the way...have some self respect.

This is hilarious. The fact that some people didn't get it is even funnier.

Also, there is no point lumping the Ivies together for med school. The Ivy League is an undergraduate sports league. It just so happened that, at least for a long time, the Ivies were closely ranked academically (though that's really no longer the case). However, when you span from the 100th percentile down to the 50th percentile (aka Harvard down to Brown) in US News rankings for med school, does it honestly make any sense to lump these schools together?

I especially hate it when people spell "a lot" with "alot." (and yes, periods and commas go into the quotation mark.)

Who can forget the all bewildering difference between "you're and your"?
 
when applying to medical school which one is easier to get into? 😕

To be fair, the placement of periods and commas is a rather 'common usage based' guideline. That is, grammar is strict and spelling is inflexible, but different manuals of style prescribe different quotation-mark behaviors.

I actually tend to think quotation marks should surround punctuation only if the punctuation is an original part of the quotation. For example, would it make any sense for me to talk about how you "especially hate it when people spell 'a lot' with 'alot'?" Putting that question mark inside of the quotations could make a third party think that the question mark was originally yours.

Just wanted to throw this out there. Language arguments are the best.

"Easier to get into?" Among those two, the first one.
Fo sheez.
 
Wanna know what stinks about the Ivys? They are in the NE. And I am not against the people/culture at all, but I think the snow would kill me. And none of them are easy to get into. But check out Duke if you want a rockin' school that is not in the Ivy L.!

It's irrelevant. If you need one to be "easier" to get into for you to get in, you won't get into any of those. If your credentials are solid, apply to all of them and see what happens. The MSAR can show you the average matriculation stats for each, and if your stats equal or exceed that, you have a good shot, if you interview well, have great ECs and can put together a compelling PS. There are many other med schools besides the ivys which can get you to where you want to be in life, and certainly some are better and even more competitive than those you listed.
As for ranking them, I think the ranking system jebus employed is the one most reasonable in light of the question. Check out US News if you want a less scientific analysis.

Ok, let's assume you're a fairly competitive applicant first. There are a few insider tips floating around, like: for UPenn, you need to apply very early in the cycle, shoot for getting your AMCAS out in June. For Columbia, you need to write them a strong letter of intent/interest.

If you're not a competitive applicant and have no special circumstances, my guess is the higher the ranking, the higher the stat averages, the harder it is to get into.

Of course, people of all strengths flock towards the Ivies because they want the name brand stamped on their arse. So conceivably, the school with the smallest class size could be the hardest to get into.

Out of curiosity, how old are you? You must not know a substantial amount about medical schools because there are a lot of schools that are more highly ranked than most of the Ivies-- UCSF, Vanderbilt, Baylor, UCLA, Case, etc... Get over the name and rank thing because it's annoying.
 
I'm 19 years old, will be transferring to Cornell University in two years, I will have a transfer guarantee admission. Will be a freshman in college in the fall of 2006, right now i'm volunteering in the hospital before i go off to college. Want to go to Ivies for the education and to make my grandmother proud of me before she passes. 🙂

Haha when I got an interview at Yale, my grandma said "The only people who go to Yale are the ones who don't get in to Harvard" 🙄
