How important are medprep programs. I would rather take a class in the summer than do medprep.

I'd wager that 1% of the matriculating population used medprep, so not important.

I've never heard of a medprep program. So obviously very important 😉

Somewhere between not important and very little importance

don't they give like grades and rank you or something? Someone brought this up a while ago this year and I thought that is a terrible way of spending your summer in confrontation to research/travel. Unless you are a borderline applicant and you REALLY want to get into that one specific school, I don't think it matters. If anything, there are more chances of it hurting you since if you don't do well, it will show. I know a couple of people who did this type of program 50/50% got into medical school. Don't really know if I care enough to apply.
I'm borderline and the school is in-state so I would like to go there. I'm also afraid of it hurting me if I don't do well. The program also runs a full day starting at around 9. Not sure if I can be dedicated to this.

yea I don't know, you just have to set up a regime and be totally devoted to it cause it can make you or break you. I'd do it personally to prepare for medical school if I was in college, but if I was out, I'd want to earn as much money before medical school as I can (knowing that I got in).
