Students at the College have a considerable advantage over those from other schools in being accepted at the Medical School, Dean George P. Berry revealed Saturday.
Speaking at a special freshman meeting on Concentration, Berry disclosed that although only one applicant out of ten is accepted on a national basis, four out of ten are accepted from Harvard.
Although there are no set quotas, Berry said that in recent years 30 to 35 percent of the 130 admitted each year are selected from the College.
He said that the Medical School accepts such a large percentage of Harvard students because 1) it is sure of the standards here, and 2) through personal contacts it is able to check on personality and character.
Berry also said that only five percent of the entering class has had less than four years of college work.
