nabiilah: to some extent, yes, they may take into consideration where you graduated from. however, I believe GPA and your MCAT scores are more important. your experience (like working at a hospital, etc) will also carry alot of weight.
this is why some people do not recommend going to Johns Hopkins if you want to go to med school. the competition there is so cut-throat for pre-meds and the grading there is tough.
on the other hand, im sure youve never heard of Austin College in Texas. it isn`t a very well known school, but most of the students there are pre-med, and many students get accepted to med school.
therefore, going to unknow school= does not mean you cant get into med school. however, it never hurts.
