monkey_man9000 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I just started my undergrad at university of montreal, a french school, even though I had also been accepted at mcgill. I hear that Mcgill is much harder for getting good grades, so I decided to go to UofM because I thought that the american schools would prefer the better grades. Was I wrong to do this? Do they prefer better schools such as McGill during the admission process? If so, should I transfer? Thanks for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 US med schools don't care where you went for undergrad as long as it's at an accredited North American school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey_man9000 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 are you certain of this? if they see harvard instead of some random school, they wont give preference to either? even if theyre not supposed to, doesn't it seem likely that they will at the very least subconsciously?

Mithril Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 You can PM LizzyM or Catalystik on SDN. They are adcoms at US allopathic schools and will say the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
