Don't be too confident about yourself
😉 There's plenty that's been said by
LizzyM and the others on here. School reputation does matter, but not the extent you think. And the MCAT is the great equalizer. So it's fantastic that someone went to Columbia undergrad, and did well with a 3.8 and 35 MCAT. But what about that state school kid who has a 3.98 and a 42 MCAT? He sounds more impressive - especially when you consider that getting into an Ivy is more of a reflection of your parents and your socioeconomic background.
And yes it's true that kids at top schools have more opportunities. But those in state schools can easily find those same opportunities by working harder.
Also, GPA and MCAT only matter for interview invites. After that, your interview performance and the other things you bring to the table are what what count.
