The University of WASHINGTON School of Medicine is the nation’s fourth most popular medical school, according to an analysis by U.S. News and World Repor
t. The only trouble is, the picture of the school, as reported by Huff Post, is not of the UW School of Medicine. (I retouched it to add some locality!..can you recognize Harborview?).
Anyhow, another thing to brag about, esp as the UW was the only one of the top ten research schools in the USA to also be rated as “most popular.” The University of Washington School of Medicine—placed in the top 10 of U.S. News‘s rankings of medical school research programs. Only two—Washington and the University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill School of Medicine—of the most popular schools cracked the top 50 of that ranking.| School Name | Students Accepted | Students Enrolled | Yield Percentage | U.S. News Research Rank | U.S. News Primary Care Rank |
