Anyway, to "seriously" answer your question...yes, med school reputation DOES matter. Someplace like UF, that has had the same Dean of Students for the last 45+ years, will have a LOT more connections than a small, less well-known, lesser ranked school. It's just like med-school admissions (Harvard vs. UWF...what do you think?). It's not that UF profs don't "like" UWF...they've just never HEARD of UWF!! I'm trying my best to change that, but the fact is that it's a small school, close to FSU and they are probably never going to take more than 1 or 2 people any given year, if that. I could be wrong, but...
I'm really not surprised to hear about USA and Mark, but I have to admit that I'm pretty shocked that UF hasn't picked up Eva yet. I'll go talk to Robyn tomorrow and see if I can get the scoop! Personally, I think both of them will have multiple acceptances by the time it's all over! Remember, I didn't get my first acceptance until early March, and didn't get my last one until mid-May! It'll happen!
