[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s commonly said prestige does not matter, and most say cheapest option with highest GPA and MCAT you can. I get that logic.

I can also understand how high SAT/ACT led to prestigious undergrad schools which led to high MCAT and that’s the correlation to strong med school application success.

I could also see top schools covering more in-depth thus making MCAT prep easier or is it truly directional school orgo is same as T5 orgo and it truly does not matter?

No top tier schools are not teaching better these are weed out courses at all schools.[/b]

Now given we now have the stupidity of MAGA running colleges in Red states like Univeristy of Florida for example there is no way in hell Med schools are going to be taking kids from some of these red state schools. That is going to change quickly. Curriculums are already changing. [/quote]
NP. Professor, have taught at a variety of schools. Undergrad science courses(or literature for that matter) are not taught the same at different undergrad institutions, nor do they have the same curves. The amount of material covered per week and the difficulty of the exams is highly variable even when the same text is used. The more capable the average student, the more we are able to push them with long-answer in-depth problem solving, vs mostly multiple choice or straightforward short answer.  If one tests too hard at a school with a  less capable student body, you find out the hard way when the department makes you make it easier, or has the older professor explain how to water it down. Ask me how I know. Postdoc at a top 10 and now at a large state uni , average SAT 1100. Everything got modified down[/quote]
