Why would someone be standard to an Ivy League medical arts school but rejected from others?
My sister was accepted to Harvard Medical School but was rejected from the non-Ivy league med school she applied to, including Duke, Stanford, Mount Sinai, and Albert Einstien School of Medicine. Why would this be? Does each medical school you apply to know of all the other medical school you apply to? She's happy at Harvard and is in her second year there immediately. But i was just wondering why would it be that she got rejected from the other "lesser" school? I'm going to apply to medical school myself.

Usually the interview make or breaks you. In addition, different schools look for different qualities within their applicants. For example, extracurricular activities may be a little more important at one university compared to another which puts sophisticated emphasis on MCAT scores and grades.
I definately think to be exact odd, but medical schools only agree to a certain number of students in and maybe they did not enjoy a spot open for her. They give preferance to the people who go to their undergrad school, and preferance to students who have parents as alumni, and so that could have played a chunk in it. Also maybe they were only just already met their quota when she applied. If she got into Harvard then she is obviously severely smart and she should consider herself very lucky because she will do very well for herself from going at hand. Maybe those other schools just did not see something in her that they needed, but she get one of the best schools there is so she should not question it.
Because the applications process, basically, at some level, is a crapshoot.
I know they don't want you to devise that. And it doesn't mean that qualified candidates won't get contained by while unqualified ones will. What it does mean is that each school have a limited number of spaces, that there is no "magic formula" that every college uses to try and compete for all the same applicants, and that it depends on any number of factors that the applicant can't really control. It also process that once you get to the interview phase, everyone is "qualified" and where you get in/waitlisted/rejected a short time ago doesn't make a whole lot of objective sense. (I abominate to tell you, but it doesn't get much better when you apply for residency, either.)
All of the school that you list are very fine institutions. Ivy League is great, but all of those school get a hundred applicants for every space they have. Congratulations to your sister, but remember the old ploy: What do they call the person who graduates ending in their class from any medical school?
'Doctor.' ;-) Source(s): MD.
Wow, thats weird. If she get into an Ivy League Medical School, she must be really smart. I really don't know what to say on why she got rejected, maybe the other college's be filled up?
But no, colleges do not know about which other college's you apply to!
