Non-stop complaints about the government in spite of the fact that most of their success came from government policies that buoyed them the whole way (ZIRP, etc).

They're also comparing "similar credentials", not identical applications, and they're only looking at MCAT + GPA, but the aamc says schools look at other factors too, and one school may not use the same factors as another (which is why a school acceptance rate comparison would be better than a national acceptance rate comparison.)
