I have read here on other threads that some universities will subtly decide who they will support with med school application (as in a review committee of some sort). I would endeavor to find out, formally or informally, how the school chooses to support a would-be med school candidate as one approaches application time and if that includes gatekeeping access to certain experiences, review of apps, recommendations, etc.
I recall former poster (sniff) curmudgeon’s D choosing to follow the scholarship $$, having an incredible experience, and getting into a top med school (at the university she had turned down for UG because of $$). Her small UG college showered her with love and opportunities and she was a superstar there.
