Hey guys,
I am currently debating on which school I should attend given that I am trying to major in Mechanical Engineering (as a plan B in case medicine doesn’t work out) and my built up hopes of pursuing a career in surgery.
The schools I am considering are:
Cal Poly Pomona
San Diego State
Long Beach State

I am worried that some med schools might prioritize students from certain colleges. How would you approach the situation, and which college would you choose? What should I do throughout college to increase my chances of getting accepted to a med school (besides academic success and high MCAT score)? What would make me stand out from the rest of the applicants?
