No, but you do not need to go to a top 20 school to practice medicine.Thank you for your list! Am I out of the running for Top 20 schools?
U ILL-Carle might be worth a shot.Yes, you don't need to, but I believe it would tremendously valuable. And, I will probably work as a clinician for some time too.

Medical schools are ranked primarily based on their research. The top schools want a lot of researchers, publications, etc. or they want you to have a diverse story and background. You need a ton more clinical hours/volunteering with the underserved. With your computer science background they are going to want to make sure you’re committed to medicine through your experiences. I could see you getting in the T20 if you apply to a ton of them and craft very good essays framing yourself as a unique applicant that will add to the medical school class. But applying solely to t20 or expecting an acceptance is risky because lots of people with higher stats and better extracurriculars get rejected.Yes, I am. Becoming a physician was always on my mind, and now, I feel 100% sure of it. I will try to get more clinical experience, thanks for that advice. What else should I do to better my chances at T20s? I know schools don't matter at the end of the day, but it has always been a dream of mine to attend a T20 school.
