Colleges sending the most grads to med school?

Hey! I'm hoping to go pre-med in college and curious about which schools send most of their graduates to med school. Which colleges have the highest number of grads currently practicing as doctors? Thanks!

The exact data on which schools send the most graduates to medical school can vary a bit so it's difficult to provide a definitive list. However, some universities well-regarded for their strong pre-med programs and the high number of their graduates who go on to medical school include:

- Johns Hopkins University

- Harvard University

- Duke University

- Stanford University

- University of Pennsylvania

- Washington University in St. Louis

- University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

This list includes universities renowned for their research, rigorous academics, and strong faculty mentorship, all of which help prepare students for med school.

However, remember that the total number of students matriculated into med school isn't the only factor to consider. You also want to research about the resources available for pre-med students, such as advising, MCAT prep, research opportunities, and clinical experiences available. Additionally, it's important to find a school where you'll thrive academically and personally, as med schools will also consider your GPA, MCAT scores, your coursework rigor, and the quality of your extracurricular activities (like research, clinical experience, leadership, etc.). Your "fit" with the university's culture can often contribute towards these factors as well.
