Hi! Sorry if this question has been asked before!

I’ve been in the working world for a few years but have recently been motivated to begin a career in medicine. Looking into finishing the required pre-reqs, it seems that a DIY post bacc is the best option for me given the flexibility of choices and lower cost compared to more structured programs. My question - does it matter WHERE the classes are taken? i.e., is it more advantageous to take them at an Ivy or otherwise highly ranked school vs. a state school? I’m clear on the fact that it seems community college is likely not ideal in the eyes of admissions committees.

Thanks so much! 😀
