<p>Obviously, we are talking about two completely different topics here. </p>
<p>You can completely disagree the competitive part. Like i mentioned before, even the top 20-25 medical school acceptance rate figures are lower than Harvard and Yale’s rate of acceptance.</p>
<p>Its not like I’m saying that you’ve got to a top 20 medical school to succeed or all medical schools are competitive. All med schools are competitive, after your third yr. clinical rotations, thats when you and your peers start really writing essays to your residency directors and trying to get into those highly prized residency programs at respectable hospitals and to get into the field of your choice. Going to a great school helps, but I’m saying that at any medical school, the acceptance rate is unforgiving. Its tough.</p>
<p>Regardless which school you go to, you have to take advantage of every research opportunies and all the pre health resources you possibly can. In the end, its up to you go get those high GPAs and excellent MCAT scores. The school can only provide you an environment for success, it doesn’t hand it to you. In the end, just try your best and you will succeed. If you just want to be any doctor, you don’t need to go to a top tier medical school or go to a top research medical school. I’ll agree with you on that one :)</p>
<p>My main point is…don’t choose a school because it has easier grading, more fun, relaxed, chill, less competitive, easier to get 4.0 GPA. Its the simple way out, you’ll regret it because you’ll be in the shock of your life when you get into medical school. (that is if you get in.)</p>
