<p>Went to Bates(d-uh)not at all cut throat.Partner went CMU, same thing. All premeds don’t look at everyone else as the enemy.It is very important to go to a school you can get good grades at, probably more important than the actual school.A pre-med advisor with actual experience helps too. Also, med schools look closely at your organic chem grade, so if you learn best in a small environment, make sure you go to a school that can provide that kind of experience.</p>
