Med school undergrad stats

[Verum]

Does anyone have any statistics that shows which undergrad the student comes from to a particular medical school? I know that the data could be self selecting (people from top tier undergrad are more likely to study harder and go to a better med school) but i would like some statistics to go off of.

It's on the AAMC website

That school may put a list of its incoming students on its website, though I don't think that's common practice.

I can say the top tier schools have a very heavy ivy bias. It feels like 50% of the classes at these schools are from an ivy.

Go on MD apps and look around

Yep, check MD apps. You can search the schools and then see where the undergrads are coming from. Keep in mind, it is all self-reported from the students, so it may not be 100% truthful. But why would you lie on a service like that?

Then why do people say undergrad doesn't matter?

I don't think that accurately reflects the common attitude toward the subject.

Going to a top school will always give you some sort of advantage. The extent of the advantage is debatable.

Aside from those top schools/top programs, most schools should give you a good shot at medical school assuming you perform well.
