That would be acknowledging an unknown. There’s no assurance a top school has higher rigor. And some, like Harvard, already bump their GPAs by giving away As like Santa Claus (spelling corrected - thanks @Momofthree24) gives gifts.
Perhaps a school, on their own, might. A school can do as it wants. I highly doubt this is a consistent thing.
Nonetheless, most people don’t seek out Drs by med school attended but rather by do they take my insurance and can I get in. I’m sure 99% of people have no idea where theyr Drs went to school - or what even the top schools are.
Are u Miami, UIC, Mizzou, U Tenn, U Tex, St Louis U, Wright State top 5?
Vanderbilt is a top level oncology school. I’m up through the letter C - and that’s some I came across.
It’s a fascinating discussion and I suppose just like at the undergrad level, a school can do what it wants. And I don’t know if all publish their criteria like U Mich does but they don’t list the ‘where’ at all.
Who are the top 5 baseball players who ever played ? Or football? Or basketball ?
There will never be a ‘correct’ answer to all and there will never be a correct answer to this question that satisfies all.
