Well, if resources are unlimited, go to the best and get the top GPA / MCAT, EC’s…
For some with limited resources, it just does not make sence to enter Medicals School which is very expensive no matter where you go, with whole bag of student loans and/or burden you family with exessive UG expenses. For them, it makes more sense to go where they are offerred full ride or full tuition, get GPA=4.0, get MCAT as high as possible and all EC"s and other experiences and look for ANY Med. School that accepts them with these stats. The path should be clear beforehand, not after you spend $45,000 for tuition / year in UG and hear that you family has spent all resources allocated for your education and you are on your own. I have real life examples of both.
