<p>penn has a much better med school, and thus Im guessing the feeder system is also better on the whole</p>
<p>this is assuming you are a more or less naturally gifted in math/science
once again, I’ll also pull the ‘personal skill’ argument. if you are truly gifted and passionate for the sciences, then you can go to a good state school and get a 4.0, youll be better off than somehow getting into an ivy league school and getting a low or mediocre B average because you just dont have the passion/gift for medicine.</p>
<p>so it comes down to judging yourself and saying do you have what it takes to do great in a solid/great pre-med program (basically if you loved and excelled in advanced science/math classes in high school and have corroborating math/sci standardized test scores)</p>
