<p>According to what I learnt on CC, if you do well (GPA, MCAT, ECs, Shadowing, interview… and the list goes on), you will likely end up in a med school (there is NO guarantee).
However, for top med schools, doing well sometimes is not enough, and the admission is just very hazardous and unpredictable even if you do well.
If I did well, I would be HILARIOUS to end up in a med school (I don’t even think about a top med school). But this is subjective.
Also, I don’t think there are safeties. Even the less prestigious med schools will still accept only like 10% of the applicants.</p>
