Usually doesn’t matter a whole lot. Some schools care more than others. A common complaint w/ a med school I will be interviewing at in a couple of weeks is that it is extremely snooty towards folks not from Ivy-level colleges.

Generally, you will find a lot of Ivy League students (and folks from Stanford, Berkeley, WashU, etc.) at your interviews (esp. at top med schools). However, I’ve met some folks from lower UC’s and other assorted state schools too. It’s up to the individual.
