[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which is the best route to Med school a SLAC, Mid, or large?[/quote]

Top30 private or public with a med school on or close to campus, ideally one where the median in Stem classes is a B+ or A-, as long as the prospective student has the skills to be top half or better. SLACs in the Top10-13 range can be good if med school is close enough.

For top students go to an ivy/elite with a med school on or close to campus. Those schools place the largest portion of applicants into T20 med, necessary for targeting certain subspecialties. These schools also have below-average (3.5-3.6) students get in to medical school in the US all the time. [/quote]

Basically all of this is wrong. But what is especially wrong is that not being at a T20 med school will rule you out of some subspecialties. [/quote]

True. I know several from vcu who matched into dermatology vs Harvard.  The step scores and class rank are the most crucial.  Fit is also important,  hence why EP and orthopedic surgery are full of bro, lacrosse type entitled a**es. [/quote]

Why bro and lacrosse type more fitting for EP and orthopedic surgery?[/quote]

They tend to attract bros who are adrenaline junkies. [/quote]
