[quote=Anonymous]For what it’s worth, I’m a medical school clinical faculty member who chose a top 10 LAC over two better known top 10 national universities. It’s not one size fits all. What isn’t very negotiable is that medical schools want students who didn’t struggle for good grades. However, the undergrad program needs to be rigorous. My advice is to go to a school where by working hard and immersing yourself in learning you will be recognized as a strong student. A college where you can get a high GPA without working hard probably isn’t rigorous enough. A college where you are below average despite working extremely hard will make med school admissions an uphill battle. Of course it’s hard to know which school is your sweet spot. For most people, it’s not Caltech or MIT. In my case, choosing the LAC over Chicago and Hopkins was good decision.[/quote]
