<p>No one is saying that undergraduate institution matters. a 3.7/35 from an Ivy and a 3.7/35 from a “lesser school” is seen as the same. The MCAT creates a leveled playing field for applicants that attend schools that are less rigorous in terms of the strength of pre-med science courses. The MCAT also helps create a fair environment especially with schools that are known to have grade inflation. However students that attend prestigious schools are probably more likely to have higher MCAT scores than students that attend less prestigious schools.</p>
<p>If a student has a 3.7/35 from Harvard and another has a 3.7/35 from lets say Delaware State, which applicant is more likely to be accepted?</p>
