<p>Med school education in the US is not like undergrad education. It’s flat. All US MD med schools teach the same thing. </p>
<p>Getting accepted to ANY US MD school is a huge achievement. I just went thru the med school app process with my younger son. He was very lucky to get accepted to 3 US MD schools, including his top pick. </p>
<p>There’s really no reason to aim for a top 10 med school unless your goal is academic medicine. That said, a student from any good undergrad can get accepted to a top school. Acceptance to various med schools is mostly about GPA, MCAT, LORs, Reserqch, ECs.</p>
<p>I’ve seen kids from CSUs get accepted to UC San Francisco SOM. I’ve seen kids from ivies only get accepted to one unranked SOM or no SOMs at all.</p>
