[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Med schools don't care about the ranking of your undergrad college. They care about your GPA. A 4.0 from a less rigorous college serves you better than a 3.7 from a rigorous college. I would pick the school where your DD has the best chance of getting the highest grades, which might be a less selective college than she would otherwise choose if she wasn't planning to go to medical school.[/quote] This is the advice I’ve seen for many years from people who have been through the process. The more grade inflation a college has the better if med school is the goal. Most SLACs are in this category, but you should be able to get a sense by googling. [/quote] This is good advice- the current method initial candidate screening looks heavily at GPA and MCAT score. Have good grades (including in the core science classes) and MCAT prep to score as well as you can. [/quote]
