Accepted or not, that’s not a wise strategy for a premed. Have your parent read this thread.

Much of the “premed - to - med school” process is counter-intuitive and missteps can derail the goal.

Med schools do not care where you go to undergrad college. A student from a top school with a lesser gpa will be at a disadvantage over a student from, say their state flagship, with a higher gpa.

Your parent likely wrongly thinks that a prestigious school will do a better job preparing you for the MCAT and med school. Not true. Your parent may also wrongly think that med schools are impressed by applicants from top schools…not true.
