Would I still be competitive for the top tier medical schools if I went to Stony Brook?

first of all…ALL US allopathic med schools are excellent. We don’t have any “so so” med schools here. Getting into ANY of them is an honor since half of the nationwide applicants don’t get in anywhere.
If you excel at Stony (or anywhere), get a high MCAT scores, and have the requisite medically-related ECs, then you potentially could get into a top med school after attending Stony.
Do you plan on going into academic medicine? If not, what is your interest in top tier SOMs? In your opinion, what is a top tier SOM?

Yes, WOWMom is very helpful. Your comment naively suggests that you don’t realize that the comments were ALSO helpful.

I'm not really interested in the University of Alabama, just because it is pretty far away and any school that has their football coach as the highest paid state employee is not for me.

Well that would eliminate a whole bunch of schools…probably even schools like UCLA…would you say that UCLA isn’t “for you”? What about UMich?
Bama could pay Saban twice his salary and he still would more than earn his salary in what his program brings INTO the university in positive cash flow. Saban is a license to print money. Other schools are drooling to have someone like him who brings in sooooo much money to the school.
