You can confirm these numbers, they are public, and gathered annually by various administrative bodies involved in the standardized tests and credentialling of the professional schools.

I don't doubt that there are 140k premed undergrads or x million college students.

I doubt that there is any reliable estimate of how many people would apply for med school or law school BUT FOR their having to take a standardized test.

All I am saying is there should be some scalable if crude method of quickly ranking new software engineers by aptitude as a pre filter for interviews as there is for doctors and lawyers. it’s just an opinion.
