Sadly, the CSU's despite the size of enrollment usually produce 30+ pre-med applicants or less each per year.

Surely you mean matriculants.

I just checked the tables and CSU Fullerton and CSU Northridge combined to matriculate 20+ Hispanic students; they had many more applicants, and this was for Hispanics only. The problem with the tables is that they only show the top 100 or so institutions that matriculated people from each race. The CSU's did not even show up on the tables for Asian or whites because they did not matriculate 30-50+ students that were only white or Asian. I am not quite sure where the 30+ or less applicants per year came from, as our CSU has been very successful and has was more than 30 applicants each year.

My CSU has an over 80% success rate for students that get the committee letter. Last year, we had 14 students get accepted through the traditional acceptance process and who received the committee letter of rec, and this does not even include the students who did not seek the committee letter from the office. We also have linkages to medical schools, and we have at least 2 people per year get a guaranteed acceptance to medical school this way as well.

The Mexican table captures several CSUs, it shows total applicants (of all races) in 30s and less for them

Nobody contests that there are some people doing well out of CSUs. Just very few per capita compared to UCs

Its not that crazy, there's a pretty clear trend of more academic schools producing more premeds per capita and CSUs vs UCs is a big jump

HOLY CRAP my mind is blown. Each CSU has something crazy like 40,000 students and ALL OF THEM COMBINED HAVE A TOTAL OF 30 PREMED APPLICANTS? My mind can't even grasp this

Bcus MCAT. On SDN people like to say anybody who studies hard and studies right will hit at least a 30...so untrue.

The second column shows total applicants.
I'll look for the table that shows all applicants by school, though.
It is pitifully small considering their potential.

Individually, they produce in the 30's, mostly.
I'm still trying to find @On Eagle's Wings school...

Yeah but I don't think the difference in ability between students is that rediculous. Frankly, 30 applicants is pathetic.
