<p>^^ very true. My point is that she started out at a community college, and went to her closest 4-year university. Her college search began and ended with 2 schools within half hour of her home. With a high GPA, high MCATs and demonstrated interest by way of internships/volunteerism, even kids from Podunk State get into med schools, even very well known ones. My doctor did her undergraduate at Penn State - Altoona, a very podunky school. </p>
