The 15 best medical schools in the US, according to US News & World Report via CNBCMakeIt
Each year, U.S. News & World Report ranks the best medical schools in the country based on variables such as peer assessments, amount of National Institutes of Health research grants funds awarded and faculty-to-student ratio.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> This year, the top-ranked schools include prestigious private institutions as well as public universities. The list also makes clear just how hard it is to get into medical school today — 13 of the top 15 medical schools admit less than 6 percent of applicants. "Medical schools set up a great number of hoops for applicants to jump through: a prescribed undergraduate curriculum with numerous prerequisites, the MCAT exam, a complex and multi-part application, traveling to interviews, exhaustive days interviewing and a constant requirement for professionalism throughout," Dr. McGreggor Crowley, an admissions counselor at admissions consulting firm IvyWise, tells U.S. News.
The schools with the lowest acceptance rates on the list are the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine, which each accept just 2.1 percent of applicants. The average cost of tuition and fees at these top 15 programs is about $59,317 per year, but the NYU Langone School of Medicine stands out for having the lowest costs by far. In 2018, Billionaire Ken Langone made a $100 million gift to the university that has allowed the school to eliminate tuition, and U.S. News estimates that students at NYU Langone pay just $3,450 a year in fees.
