Sounds like a 4.0 GPA could have done wonders for you.

Go to the cheapest school. No one cares where you go to med school.

The only place anyone ever cares where I trained is my fellowship.

Umm. False. Residency programs care if you are D.O. or trained

You’re right. I guess I was talking about MD programs

AP classes help your weighted gpa.

I had a 3.4 GPA and 24 on the ACT. I went to UVU and did good enough

Similar story. You can get great grades at BYU if you work your butt off

My two friends who went to med school from UVU got into the two best med schools

So not top schools.

Nope, but like I said, better than the schools my friends from byu got into.
