If I passed UW with a 3.8-4.0 GPA and majored in one of the sciences or something, and got a stellar MCAT score, I could technically get into Hopkins or Harvard, right?
Also, what is the admisson rate for UW undergraduates into medical school?
Thanks.

You see, my problem is that right now I'm basically done with my MA course at a local vocational institute, but dont know where to get my bachelors. When I had graduated form high school I wasnt sure what I wanted to do, and so I chose to be involved in allied health. I didnt know how deeply though, which is why I chose the MA course.
About half way through I decided this wasnt for me. The clinical work was fun, the college had wonderful teachers, and I loved the education, but I wanted to be more, a full doctor. I didnt drop out, and decided to finish it, mainly because quitting something wouldnt be a good representation of me. Now Im almost done with the vocational program, and I want to get into a university and start my prerequisites for med school.
Only problem is, like Iwy Em Hotep said, UW undergraduates have a hard time getting into the med school. UW is in my top-ten list of schools I want to get into. I heard something like seventy-nine 4.0 UW undergraduates are refused by the school of medicine every year, and I have no clue why. Maybe their MCATs sucked or something.

I doubt this is true for UWSOM. Possible...but as I personally know a student who turned down Johns Hopkins to go here, I have doubts.cheapdate said:I don't know how true this is, but I heard once upon a time that a student with superstar stats are refused because the school know that it's a high probability the student is applying to the school as a back up school.
I got into the undergrad BioE program, but personally didn't like it. That's just my personal opinion. A friend of mine in the department did confirm the lab report thing though.cheapdate said:if you care about going to iv school that much, I know the uw bioengineering program is one of the toughest on campus, heavily research oriented, and high probability that you're going to get published if you really want to. The dept is kind of tough to get into, and most people who were accepted were already doing research. I don't know about the undergrad program, but the grad program is rated 4th in the nation (or internationally.. i forgot). The undergrad program is extremely demanding, but the program does a very good job of sending their students to grad school and med school (btw, most people in this dept are either planning going to med school or grad school).. so.. if you think you can handle it and stay up till 3 to write lab reports, try it.
Rumor was 100% of applicants.cheapdate said:If i remember correctly, the neurobiol dept send 90% of their student (or was it 90% of the student who applied got in..?) to med school, though i don't know they get to the IV schools that you mentioned. You also have to have decent to good grades to get into neurobiology, but their course work is less rigorous in the sense that there's only few neurobiol core classes, you have the opportunity to take more class outside of the department and have more flexibility
They don't really differentiate between majors. However...that said, they do take a look at your coursework to see whether or not you've adequately challenged yourself and given yourself a broad education.cheapdate said:I don't know how much med school differentiate between the majors, so I don't know much of a difference it'll make. Anyway hope that help...
