<p>Sure the GPA is one of the most aspects of Medical School admissions, however if you are smart enough that you got into JHU, Chicago, and Cornell. I am pretty sure you will do very well in those universities. First of all go where you have always wanted to attend, so even if you are extremely smart and you’ve always wanted to attend Maryland then you should go there. However, the prestige of your undergraduate college actually does play a big role in Medical school admissions. If you are planning to apply to (for example) Harvard would take most students from Harvard, then most like students from MIT, Yale, JHU, etc. while they might only take maybe 1 if not any from Maryland (Not saying Maryland is a bad school at all). So prestigious schools send more students to well known med schools. It is proven, if you look at some medical school admission stats.</p>
