<p>Re: med school.</p>
<p>If you truly have your heart set on med school, then I would suggest going where you’re more likely going to get a very high GPA. You’re a strong student…obviously…but the higher up in rankings you go, the more “super students” you’re going to have in your crowded pre-med classes (even at the privates). </p>
<p>Schools heavily weed out their premeds to make sure that only the strongest survive. Usually the weeding is done by limiting the number of A’s awarded. YOU want to be the one who gets those A’s. </p>
<p>Med school admissions, while difficult, can be somewhat predictable because they’re so numbers driven…high GPA, high BCMP GPA, high MCAT, supportive LORs, volunteering, and research…and a smart app list can pretty much assure oneself of at least one MD acceptance. . </p>
<p>You’re lucky to be an Indiana resident since your state has a very large med school…and residents get priority.</p>
