Does going to a lower tier UC/cal state affect admission into med/dental school?

<p>Let's say i went to Cal Poly Pomona or UCR. If I graduated with a pretty decent GPA would I still be viewed as inferior than someone who graduated from UCB with a similar GPA and we applied to the same dental/medical school?</p>

<p>bump…I was had the same question (law school).</p>

<p>well there are a lot of other factors that go into admission to med/dent school (the MCAT/DAT is a big one) but yeah, everything else similar someone who goes to UCLA/UCB/Other top 25 school is going to have the edge. Just aim for a 3.5+ and 30/20+ and all you can do is apply and see if you get in somewhere.</p>

<p>For med/dent school it does not matter so much where you went to undergrad. Your GPA, mcat scores, and extracurriculars are what is important. Not sure about law school though.</p>

<p>not very much. It does matter, but only barely.</p>

<p>spend less time worrying about things and more time making something of yourself.</p>
