the University of Pittsburgh has visitation dates all through the summer with some of them being specifically tailored to certain graduate schools, such as the school of medicine, which is the one that i went to (obviously) ... with over 100 students attending, they kept talking about how "pitt undergrad is so great and wait till you get accepted into our med school! its fantastic! no serously, or med school is amazing"
wait a minute
so out of the 128(?) students that eventually matriculate to their school of medicine, in years past, the norm has been about 7-15 of them coming from pitt undergrad
for a college visit, is this even close to normal practice, i.e., to talk about the med school, which there may be only a slim chance of attending, instead of the strength of the undergraduate program? i made the trip to see the college, not where i might be in 4+ years. what are your thoughts on this?
i know that you cannot offer medical advice, nor am i seeking it, but am i delusional?
