Will you choose to go to theses 2 schools instead of other schools that are ranked higher simply because these 2 schools are Ivy schools? Or will you just look at the med school ranking and ignore the overall fame of the whole school?

Selecting a med school on the basis of ranking or on the basis of the school's overall fame is not a good idea. Both are poor criteria for making this decision.

You do so at your own risk. Like searun says, it's a pretty useless criteria for evaluating whether a school is a good fit for you.

Yes, I loved Dartmouth. I was accepted there and knew that I would be a really good fit. I love the outdoors, love snow and winter, running 5 miles every day along country roads (in the fall and spring), snowboarding is my favorite sport, and there are rivers in New England to fly fish. Some serious dry fly opportunities. My choice came down to Dartmouth and another school, and I went to the other school. It comes down to fit. Dartmouth fit me very well, but other folks, perhaps not so much. Two big thumbs up for Dartmouth! I now am in urban environment for med school but rural definitely has its charms.
