Would going to Rutgers harm my chances?

<p>I am considering Rutgers for Biomedical Engineering/Pre-med, I was wondering if going to Rutgers (while most likely having a good gpa and good mcat scores), would hinder my chances of getting into a good medical school vs. going to an ivy? <em>Going to Rutgers because it is much cheaper, possibly able to get a Full Ride</em></p>

<p>Thanks,

<p>Absolutely not. It’s not the school name that matters, it’s what you do while at that school that counts.</p>

<p>Absolutely! Going to Rutgers will completely decimate any chance you have of going to medical school. EVER!</p>

<p>Furthermore, taking ANY class outside of the Bio, Chem & Physics depts other than a limit of ONE English class and TWO math classes will heavily harm your chances.</p>

<p>Finally, make sure you don’t make any friends in college or do anything besides study ALL the time, because doing anything else will keep you from getting ALL As (i.e., a 4.0), which is the bare minimum necessary to get an interview and be seriously considered for any US medical school (MD OR DO).</p>
