<p>Rice would be great if you do well. Med schools in Texas easiest in country for admission if you are Texas resident. (If anyone wants, I can back this up with a listing of undergrad gpa’s and MCAT scores at Texas med schools.) A 3.5 from Rice and a good, but not even great, MCAT and you are in. Do not go to a weak undergrad school; go to the best college you can. A 4.0 from a mediocre school will never be as good as a 3.5 from a good school. In addition, you would be banking on the 4.0 as well as giving up the other great advantages of the good degree, good education, and good experience.</p>
