<p>Hey Guys...I don't know if this message belongs on this particular board, but I was wondering if any of you knew the importance of being a legacy when applying to medical school. I want to apply to Thomas Jefferson Medical School, and both my uncle and my grandfather went there. My grandfather is a frequent donor there and even has a wing of the hospital named after him (very important to the school). I'm only a senior in high school, but I just want to look at my options in advance, to see what undergraduate school is good for me, etc.</p>
<p>So, if you guys could just fill me in if I have an extra-advantage from the start because of my family, that would be great. Thanks!</p>
