Can coming from a top 15 Med school take the place for significant research and AOA, assuming scores are around match averages at top 20 programs?

Honestly for a top 15 school, probably. Check your school’s match list, if 90%+ make it into a top 20 IM residency, you are probably set. You still want to make sure your house is in order though (like no failures)
 
Would it be a disadvantage going to a school that does not offer AOA? (T30)

I was wondering that too. My school is switching to no AOA, and I believe ERAS has an 3 check boxes where AOA is, which are "yes," "no," and "school doesn't offer it"

However, my school is a "top 20 (whatever that means)" and all our IM matches are 90% to "top 20" IM programs, so I'm sure residency directors aren't going to care too much
