<p>I currently go to an ok university (Bowie State University) but found out that its not really known outside of this state. Some people online said their friends who graduated from here can’t really find jobs. Im studying Biology and want to go to medical school when i graduate. Would that be possible to do coming from an unknown school? or should i just transfer? I would like to stay because of the cost but I wanna be able to find a job. Does it even matter what college I go to if I get into medical school? Its a HBCU too would that have anything to do with anything?</p>
<p>I was thinking of transferring to University of Maryland, Hampton or somewhere close.</p>
<p>As long as you have all of the requirements fulfilled, you will not have a problem pursuing graduate education. People going directly from a BS to work MIGHT have a problem if they went to a local/lower ranked school, but that varies. Basically, the biggest problem comes from not having the same opportunities as someone from a larger school (research, affiliated hospitals for easy volunteering, extracurriculars). For medical school, you need the following (in order of importance): good grades and MCAT, volunteering experience, shadowing, and some research experience. If you can get all of those, then you are in fine shape to get into a medical school regardless of your undergraduate institution.</p>
