[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s a “selective” college? [/quote]

For premed, there is really no need for a selective college.  You can do it in any Slacs that have a decent premed advisory.  WASP all have superior premed outcome.  But [b]even a t25 lac[/b] would works for premed.[/quote]

Not so sure. I know a few recent ones from T25-35 range LACs and despite their high GPAs the mcat scores were awful despite year of prep and multiple takes, they had no hospital or research experience available close to campus so the schools encourage gap years for that. they reported very few from their school get into med school in the US, they go to Caribbean or give up on the dream.

No teaching hospital and medical ec opportunities is one thing but the low mcat scores is on the kids themselves (I don’t mean that unkindly) rather than the school.

Source-physician involved in interviews and great mcats come from everywhere, including where most relavent classes were taken at community college and especially post bac programs ( where they take all the pre med pre reqs in less than a year before the mcat.) if you’re going to an accredited school and not doing well on the mcat it’s not likely to be the school.
