<p>Basically, the reputation of the undergrad college will only get u so far - more importantly, its up to u to work hard to get into med school. A lazy student with average grades at Harvard will probably not be favored over a hardworking, strait A student at a respectable public u. So more important than which school offers the best med school placement rate is whether u will work hard and take advantage of all the opportunities available to you, regardless of which school you go to.</p>
