<p>To whom it may concern:</p>
<p>Yes, it does matter, more than you may think.</p>
<p>Schools have pre-med committees (usually) and some may internally rank their applicants year to year, some may really want their people to do well and help you put your best foot forward.</p>
<p>Some colleges have excellent advising, and some have none at all. Some schools will compile all your letters for you and write a composite letter, some make you do everything. </p>
<p>Things you can control are your GPA, your MCAT score, and your EC/leadership involvement. </p>
<p>Schools with excellent track records will allow you a better chance to succeed in the application process, especially if you decide to take time off and apply after graduation.</p>
<p>These are a few things to consider. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
