<p>You should attend the college that will best support your longer term goal of being admitted to a medical school. Remove all the name tags from this venture (Harvard, JHU, etc.) and focus on the realities before you. </p>
<p>You’ll need to get practically all A’s in your core pre-reqs for medical school as well as a very very high GPA in whatever your major will be. Then, you need top shelf MCATs. </p>
<p>Your goal should be: what school can I best accomplish these set of goals? Once you line that college up: then and only then should you be thinking of the type of medical school you should attend. </p>
<p>One bit of caution: Unless you will have an outstanding track record of research, the tippy topmost GPA and MCATs, the top level med schools aren’t realistic choices.</p>
