<p>look, i go to MIT. I'm a premed and I don't see why I'm at a disadvantage. If anything I have an edge over others. Again, I don't know if you go to MIT, but a lot of students decide later on in their undergrad years that they want to take the premed track, but by then it's too late to have medically related EC's and other things. Also, there's certain majors that have a really high acceptance rate (e.g. Brain and Cog has an almost 100% acceptance rate). I think the best solution is go to a school you sincerely enjoy being at and everything else will just fall into place as long as you balance your time well and do your work.</p>
