<p>collegematter: so how do you explain these Harvard Medical School Grads from UC Davis and believe every year UC Davis admit 10-20 people in the top 10 medical schools. </p>
<p>[Harvard</a> Medical School: Raul Calderon](<a href=“http://hms.harvard.edu/admissions/default.asp?page=raul]Harvard”>http://hms.harvard.edu/admissions/default.asp?page=raul)</p>
<p>[Alumni</a> Profiles - Prospective Students - MPH Program - Harvard School of Public Health](<a href=“Academic Departments, Divisions, and Centers | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health”>Academic Departments, Divisions, and Centers | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health) </p>
<p>also on mdapplicants the Harvard page shows a mix of Ivy league schools, State schools, and relatively low tier schools. to say that just because you go to prestigous school it will be easier to attend a prestigous medical school is proposterous. for example a 3.5 at JHU will be beaten by a 3.8 from UC Davis provided MCATs are the same and EC’s are relatively alike.</p>
<p>let me say it again: GPA and MCAT count the most no matter where you came from. </p>
<p>P.S.- If you had the choice what would you rather have a prestigous Medical school or prestigous undergrad?</p>
