Exactly!
I was just trying to explain to the OP that attending Auburn ( a school that he thinks is “not very selective” ), will not mean that his later choices will be limited. Schools like Auburn do a fine job teaching the premed prereqs as well as other courses.
There are many people who wrongly think that you have to go to a “top school” in order to get into med school. Ive even had people ask me questions like, “has anybody from UAlabama ever gone to med school?”
The same with med schools. I’ve had many people tell me that in order to get into a top residency, the student needs to go to an Ivy or similar school. Not true at all.
This student will not be “held back” simply because he stayed in state for undergrad. If he wants to go OOS, he can apply to OOS med schools when the time comes and he won’t be limited by what his parents will pay.
