If you go to a no-name undergraduate school, get a 4.0 and beast the MCAT can you get into a Top 10 medical school? Probably. Would it be slightly easier to get into a top 10 coming from an Ivy? Yes. But would you get a 4.0 at an Ivy? Probably not. The same rules for undergrad apply to med school as well.
