Best pre-med schools in the country?

<p>

let’s face the reality people. </p>

<p>the bulk of the students at most well-established med schools around America come from the top schools such as the top 30 schools by USNews.

</p>

<p>to RML and others who have been saying this: of course a lot of students at top med schools will come from top schools. </p>

<p>But is this because they went to a top school that magically made them a better applicant, or because they themselves were talented enough to get into a top school already? the latter seems far more likely. And while I don’t have the source, I recall reading that there is virtually no difference in success between people who went to top schools, and people that went to “lesser” state schools though they got into top schools.</p>

<p>from what i’ve heard, the best advice seems to be that what really matters is GPA and MCAT- so don’t spend 200k for undergrad when you can get the same thing for much less at a state school.</p>

<p>hence, if(/when, hopefully :D) i have the choice between paying little/nothing for rutgers, or 200k for an ivy… guess where i’m going.</p>
