<p>It really does – if you enjoy the atmosphere and get along with your peers and professors, you will be much more motivated to succeed. And the schools that you are looking at are top liberal arts colleges; they are all going to have high rates of acceptance to medical school. You really can’t go wrong with Reed, Carleton, and Bowdoin :D</p>
<p>Also, this may seem off-topic, but consider other careers within the medical field than just being a physician and find out everything you can. I wanted to go pre-med in undergrad but got turned off by the large amount of time and money that it takes to get there, so I decided (after a while) to turn to public health instead, and I’m earning my Ph.D in public health. HOWEVER, I later found out about this position called a physician’s assistant – who does most of the basic functions a physician does, except that they only require a master’s degree and experience in healthcare (like nursing or EMT) for a few years first. I wish I had known about that in undergrad!</p>
