Does your undergrad really matter if you plan on going to a top med school

<p>Hmm, I see lots of varied answers reading this stuff. I guess what I want to know is…what defines a good undergrad from a “mediocre” one? I do plan on attending med school someday except my family isn’t exactly loaded with the green goods right now so I’m pretty much staying in Maryland. Would anyone say the University of Maryland (md’s flagship university at college park) or UMBC (my safety school) is a bad undergrad? I don’t plan on going to Harvard for undergrad or anything but I don’t plan on going to community college either. What separates good from bad?</p>
