<p>Graduating from Dartmouth will not give you an overwhelming advantage over OU because the holistic approach and geographical diversity in admissions is seen at medical admissions as well. Otherwise the top medicals schools would be full of NE college grads. If you are a top student at OU while doing research at an academic hospital, a semester overseas, and volunteer at a low income/homeless shelter it will make you a stellar candidate for any top medical school. Having the financial means to pay for grad school will also make it easier to take advantage of all the opportunities offered during medical school and continue to residency without being stressed of the pitiful resident salary.</p>
