<p>Go where you want to go. I recommend going to a university with a medical school, but focus on finding a school with adequate academic support and a happy, enjoyable climate (whatever that means to you). </p>
<p>Your undergraduate school will play very little role in your career as a doctor. Biology undergrad curriculums are largely the same and almost all of the UCs have strong science programs. In medical school you’ll be compared against the best of the best (even the lowest ranked med schools are difficult to get in to). That means that if you can’t hack it in undergrad, wherever you go, it’ll be a blessing in disguise: you won’t fail out of med school. </p>
<p>So don’t worry about how undergrad will affect your med school choices; worry about how it will serve your undergraduate education purposes. </p>
