<p>Say i go to UCI for undergrad and i want to go to UCI med school, would it be easier to get into the med school since i already go to the school. I heard that it is harder because they want new poeple.</p>
<p>the majority of the people are still most likely going to be from UCI. most schools are like that. However, it's probably going to be just around 5-8 kids from UCI and all the other from other schools.</p>
<p>it might help somewhat...for example with Michigan's medical school. like 35 out of the however many get in are from the U of M undergrad....it doesnt have a big effect and it is still incredibly hard to get accepted cause you still need the grades, MCAT, etc...but it does help a little in getting to the interview stage of the process...at least at UM it does lol</p>
<p>I don't know how it works for private schools, but for state schools it's going to be very common simply because most state medical schools favor in state residents - and in staters are most likely to go to their state schools.</p>
<p>UCI's med center is just a mile or so from Disneyland. :D</p>
