<p>Is it better to attend a more prestigious undergraduate school and then head off to a prestigious medical school or is it better to attend a less prestigious undergraduate school because usually, you can expect less competition? Also, what should high school students be doing their senior year in order to prepare for a career in the medical field?</p>
<p>Adding onto the OP's last question, can you count stuff you did in the summer after senior year of HS as EC activities when applying for med school?</p>
<p>According to what I learnt on CC, no you can't.</p>
<p>Yes, you can count stuff done in the summer right before starting college. I sure as heck counted it, and no one challenged me on it.</p>
<p>What we told you was that it wasn't crucial, not that it wouldn't count.</p>
