There are a 140k premed first year college students. That number itself would be larger without the MCAT hanging at the end of the road, if med schools relied on haphazard interviews alone without the MCAT.
There are 5 million college students per year, a lot more of them would take a shot at law school and med school, if it wasn’t for MCAT and LSAT.
- catlover76 3y agoWhat evidence do you have for anything you are saying?
- naveen99 3y agoYou can confirm these numbers, they are public, and gathered annually by various administrative bodies involved in the standardized tests and credentialling of the professional schools.
- catlover76 3y agoI don't doubt that there are 140k premed undergrads or x million college students. I doubt that there is any reliable estimate of how many people would apply for med school or law school BUT FOR their having to take a standardized test.
- naveen99 3y agoAll I am saying is there should be some scalable if crude method of quickly ranking new software engineers by aptitude as a pre filter for interviews as there is for doctors and lawyers. it’s just an opinion.
