<p>When our son got his undergrad decision down to two colleges, he emailed the adcoms of two med schools prior to choosing (telling them which schools he was choosing between). Both of them stated they do look at the Barrons listings. One of the adcoms seemed to give it more importance than other and actually told him one was a “tier 2” school and the other was a “tier 3” school. He ended up attending the “tier 2” school. His SATS and grades are right in the middle of the pack. It is very challenging to maintain good grades as everyone is very competitive. It would have been easier at the “tier 3” school, but I wonder if he wouldn’t be as prepared for the MCAT.</p>
