[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say I do think students are not usually well served by going to a super top college and being pre-med. That said, if they were going to drop out of the pre-med track regardless, they are better off dropping pre-med at a super prestigious school.[/quote]

Do you really believe that's true for all of the millions of students in US colleges?[/quote]

Most of the millions of students are not pre-med. I do think that pre-meds are usually better off not going to the most competitive college they can get into because that makes it more likely they will get weeded out of the pre-med track. Just think, some kids are inevitably weeded out of pre-med at MIT and Cal Tech. Likely those kids would have stayed pre-med at Virginia Tech and now they would be doctors and no one would care where they went to college. It's like that old joke: 
Question: what do you call the person who finished last in their med school class? 
Answer: Doctor

It is a bit of a gamble though because some kids would have been weeded out of pre-med (or just changed their minds) no matter where they went.

 excellent point and a good reminded to know where your doctor went to undergrad....[/quote]

No, who cares. If they didn’t go to a Third World medical school, and they passed their boards, you’re good.[/quote]
