Getting into a top ten med school

Things that pre-meds can look at/evaluate when looking at medical schools and clerkships are
-proportion/flexibility of elective time and required blocks too (e.g. can you defer any 3rd year clerkships to 4th year to allow you to get experience in some specialties during 3rd year so you have more time to decide on which specialty to apply or doing a scholarly year, etc?)
-number/distance of clinical sites (e.g. do you do everything at your academic medical center or are they sending you to different cities/hospital settings all over the state - how much of it is determined by you vs the school)
-any atypical features to the MS3/MS4 curriculum (for example my school requires everyone spend 1 month on the same, specific, inpatient, medical sub-specialty service because of how good one of our hospitals is at it - regardless of whether you are interested in that sub-specialty let alone whether you are even interested in internal medicine)

I think all of the above are just personal preference things (i.e. there’s no one method that’s clearly better) but that doesn’t mean they don’t have any impact on a person’s medical education.
