Medical school rank is far less important to a pre-med than (a) whether the pre-med gets into any medical school at all (most frosh pre-meds never get to point of applying due to GPA or MCAT being too low, and most who apply get rejected everywhere), and (b) the cost and debt associated with attending medical school (in terms of whether it is worth it to attend medical school at all, or, for those few who have a choice of more than one medical school admission, which one may be more cost effective).
