<p>Going to Medical School is solely based on your performances in undergrad right? (including MCAT etc)</p>
<p>Also, are there good chances of an UCLA undergrad student going to John Hopkins Med School?</p>
<p>doesnt really matter where u go to undergrad as long as u do well.</p>
<p>I agree with Shraf, although a top school will probably have good advising and more opportunities for research and the like, succeeding at prettymuch any decent (like top 100) school will give you just the same shot as anyone else.</p>
<p>On the same note, at less prestigious colleges, the quality of the undergraduate body is a lot lower than a top college and therefore would have a lower admit rate to top med-schools.</p>
<p>UCLA is a fine school.</p>
<p>It's only what you do as an undergrad that matters for med school, yes.</p>
<p>Okay... Thank you, nikeswooshguy and Shraf</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Although it doesn't matter where you go for undergrad, it could increase your chances for some schools. For example, I know about this because I go to UCSD, but the UCSD medical school in 2002 accepted 34 UCSD undergrad students, 32 in 03, and the number has been dropping slowly. But my point is that the UCSD med school gives priority to UCSD undergrads. I don't know if this is true about any other medical schools, just thought I would share. Hope this helps</p>
