Does the name of your Med school affect your chance for highly-competitive specialties

<p>Check the residents list at several of the programs and then decide for yourself. The lists with actual pictures of residents are easily available on internet. They show the Medical School name foreach resident. I have checked several residencies and based on that could not decide since I seen a mixture of Med. Schools at each. You are researching in incorrect place. We are not experts here.<br>
On the other hand, you need to determine (again it is YOUR determination, not others), which Med. School out of the ones that you have been accepted fits YOU the best. Some crucial factors are location, differences in the student body and one of the most important is the program itself. Sometime decision is not easy. It was not for my D. However, after comparing primarily the program and location, she happen to choose the lower ranked out of the 2 finalists and the most expansive Med. School on her list. So far she is done well there (3rd year Med. Student). One of the reasons is a good student/school match.
I strongly believe, that despite the fact that Med. School name may be somewhat important, what you personally accomplish there is the most important.<br>
That is why you will NOT get a concrete answer to your question…it simply does not exist. You will not find it even if you personally research many selective residencies which will take you just a few minutes. </p>
