Prestige of Undergrad - for Med Schools (esp interested in hearing from Curm.)

<p>For fun I went to mdapplicants and did some re-checking and verifying. May I suggest anyone with a spare minute just fiddle around with the search function on that site. Try plugging in the name of a top 10 med school, 2008, Caucasian and an MCAT a couple of points below their matriculant median (or just use 33 or 34 ;)). Or heck, even at their matriculant median . Then look at the UG schools represented. You might just see a trend. ;)</p>

<p>For example, Columbia had 3 identifiable. 1 each from Penn, Duke, and Cornell.</p>

<p>Then do it again for all MCAT scores , caucasian, 2008 and you’ll see U of Utah, U of Washington, Case, BYU all with MCAT’s at or above the median. Hey, it’s just an observation. What do I know?</p>
