<p>Absolutely. But I would add “It is foolish to assume that the education is better at the more prestigious places”</p>
<p>Going to a famous school will help you if you want to launch a research career, or you want to apply for residency in a field that is so competitive that there a many more applicants than slots. Then the good students from the “top” schools do better than the good students from other med schools. Except for these cases, you are exactly as well off coming from a lesser known medical school as Harvard. Really, it does not matter. It is certainly not worth giving up in state tuition to go to a famous private medical school.</p>
