Holy Cross applicants have done exceptionally well in gaining admission to medical school. In each of the last 10 years, for example, Holy Cross applicants to medical school have been accepted at approximately twice the national acceptance rate. For the entering classes of 1998-2002, 87% of Holy Cross applicants were accepted into at least one medical school. (Keep in mind applicants first gained a recommendation from the Premedical Program Committee.) Essentially everyone who applies to dental school, optometry school, or podiatry school is accepted. Over a 10 year period, Holy Cross averaged about 50-55 students a year who went on to health professional schools. In the past seven years, we have had at least one student accepted at each of the following list of medical schools.
