I am not wanting to stir a debate over the value of the US News rankings. I understand that research is based on $$$ for the most part. But I just want to know why it is that the research ranking is weighted more heavily in defining the stereotypical "tiers" of medical school rankings. It is not like most med students are going into research so there must be more to it than that. Can someone clear this up for me?
