Trying to choose the right school to eventually get into a good medical school

<p>Correct me if I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that medical schools don’t really care which undergrad you go to, as long as you get a 4.0 or almost 4.0. That’s why you can go to a good state school and get a 4.0 there and still be able to go to a prestigious med school, if you wanted.</p>

<p>For example, JHU med school doesn’t even consider any applicant without a certain GPA (I believe it’s 3.9, but not completely sure) and even if you have a Harvard degree and 3.7 GPA they won’t even consider you. </p>

<p>I just feel that medical schools are a real stickler for high GPAs and MCAT scores…but that’s just me. School name does not carry as much weight as the GPA does, but I think this is different if you were applying to business or law grad schools, for example. <em>shrug</em></p>
