These are questions to worry about after you’ve received multiple acceptances.

But to answer the question, UWSOM is prestigious. Not on the same level as UCSF or Umich (both public schools), but it’s definitely prestigious. I doubt it would help more than UF or Emory though. Probably equal.

It's well known. The Hutch is world class.

Indeed. They've had a Nobel laureate on faculty who pretty much invented bone marrow transplantation

Forgive me if come off as ignorant, but I just recently learned that UWSOM is very prestigious? As someone who has attend a WA school his entire life (k-12, undergrad & graduate school) UWSOM has always been my dream school. I had seen the US news primary care and research before but I never thought that UW was considered a prestigious school. Is UWSOM a prestigious school? If so is it more so regionally acclaimed, or nationally?

I want to eventually match into a competitive residency in the south, would going to UWSOM look better then school that are already in the south like Emory or UF?

I obviously know that UWSOM, Emory, and UF are all world class institutions; I’m just wondering what institution will help me reach my goals.

UW is a very prestigious institution in medicine. Other than its med school, a lot of its residency programs are quite good. That being said, you shouldn't worry about where to go for med school until you get in. The odds that you will have a choice among the three schools are almost non-existent.

Lol every school is prestigious to you before you get an A
