[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my husband went to medical school at Hopkins from Delaware.  Out of 100 kids in his class, there were about 80 undergrad institutions represented.  His best friends went to Princeton, U of Oklahoma and St. Mary's College of Maryland.  
In the end, they all got the same MD. 
I was pre-med at a small no name liberal arts college. The school placed 90% of pre-meds into medical school. 
The MCAT and doing very well wherever you are are what matters.   [/quote]

In some ways it can help to go to a small liberal arts college because the professors really know you and can write very detailed recommendations.  That can help a lot for med school or grad school applications.

I went to big state U's.  The only reason I had a single professor who knew me is because I helped with his research project -- but even that was limited interaction.  My DD is going to U Mary Wash this fall.  A completely different college experience than what I had.  One of the things that the president has mentioned is how well their graduates do in getting into med schools -- because the professors actually know them when they write recs.[/quote]
