While it's true that there is a limit (really there is a limit to every university study), there is also a limit to the number of people who are qualified and interested. For instance, there are only about 20k people who score > 510 on the MCAT per year (the average matriculant has about a 512). And remember that includes US & Canada. While I know there are a lot of people rejected from medical school each year, some probably should not be accepted to medical school. I think we could probably increase the number of seats by about 20%. The American and Canadian medical schools place a high bar on accepting students, so nearly everyone who is accepted graduates. It's uncommon for medical students to perform poorly. But this isn't true everywhere. Some places prefer to admit many students and let them sink-or-swim.
