Your focus really needs to be on affordability. In medical school admissions, prestige gives you zero advantage. It’s really not much more than a $200,000 conversation starter at a dinner party. The most successful medical students are consistently the ones who have the best grades and MCAT scores. In other words, the ones that work the hardest and have the most passion.

Also 9.5 times out of 10, smart kids wanting to be doctors decide not to go. I was one of them and I became a computer programmer. Why is that? It’s because as you mature, you find hidden passions. You’ll find that “smart” has more to do with passion than academic ability.
