A: I don’t think [the number] has changed. Every year we have approximately 50 to 60 applicants for medical school, but these days, that number spans several graduating classes. So this summer we’re working with 50 applicants for medical school, along with one dental school applicant, from the classes of 2014 to 2009.
: Has the system been successful?
A: Yes, very. The key is that students apply when they are competitive and ready. We probably average in any given year a roughly 75 to 80 percent acceptance rate. Many students who don’t get in will reapply, and the combination of applying once and then reapplying takes our acceptance up to more than 90 percent.
We pride ourselves at Amherst in not being a cutthroat pre-med environment. We don’t have a pre-med track or major. The students here are collaborative with each other. We’re proud of that.
Our job at Amherst is to provide optimal support so our students will do as well as possible. We have a great group of candidates for medical school. [They represent]the kind of doctor we will need in the future, someone who is not just a technician and expert in the science of disease but also a healer who is able to combine the science of medicine with the art of medicine. That’s a unique and important contribution. We feel that Amherst is great at turning out that kind of doctor. The same applies to those who end up working in other health professions fields, as an increasing number of students are doing.
