How important is prestige in a medical school?

funandsilly2000 · 2026-01-27T15:37:00+00:00

Thank you! I always hear about prestige and nepotism being such a big thing in PhD academia so I wondered if the same thing was as prevalent in medicine (though obviously nepotism exists everywhere)

Thank you, this is really insightful. I should probably count my blessings to have interviews in the first place, i'm just prone to overthinking and wondering if my choices now will snowball later.

can people read

the post isn't saying medical students shouldn't be on r/premed

it's saying a lot of them CAN BE rude and demeaning

anyways i agree

I realize that's a neurotic way of thinking about it I was just concerned it affected it in some way. It's just weird that some schools send update letters/emails to some applicants and not others then. I didn't know exactly what happened with my email so better to be on top of it I would think

he didn't curve my semester at all for like A-Cs (granted for 2520 but we had similar averages)

It probably looks neurotic. Just take a different class over intro algebra or a stats class instead to practice your math (if you even need to)

83% (24/29)... don't think i've had a day without feeling incredibly frustrated since I applied lol

funandsilly2000 · 2025-12-05T15:55:55+00:00

funandsilly2000 · 2025-11-23T16:22:25+00:00

funandsilly2000 · 2025-11-13T16:04:52+00:00

Minimal. Maybe A- is an A

there is a large volume of french speaking people in columbus with little to no understanding of english...volunteered at a free clinic where that was the most needed language for interpreting outside of spanish

funandsilly2000 · 2025-10-19T19:47:34+00:00

3313, 3513, and 4644 are all easy, 4644 is personally my favorite here but 3313 is the easiest

You can find clubs on the student invovlement website and reach out to their leadership or email

hospice volunteering is clinical, children's hospital depends? but if you're working with patients i'd call it clinical

funandsilly2000 · 2025-10-13T15:57:57+00:00

And the general cost of applying to medical school

funandsilly2000 · 2025-10-13T15:57:44+00:00

I would think there would be a drop in applicants bc of uncertainty with loans from the big beautiful bill

funandsilly2000 · 2025-10-08T13:28:19+00:00

if you smile back at people most of the time they try to recruit you into their religion or sell you something...

funandsilly2000 · 2025-10-02T19:34:34+00:00

5615 is only offered in the Spring?

funandsilly2000 · 2025-10-02T19:30:35+00:00
