Considerations When Choosing a College

As a Black medical school applicant you should never choose to attend an undergraduate institution solely because you believe it will enhance your chances for getting into medical school.

Attend a college you will be proud to attend regardless of whether you go to medical school or not.

One factor to keep in mind is that if you attend a HBCU then odds are these schools will appear higher on the list since the rankings are based on total number of applicants without a breakdown of percentage of Black medical school applicants who actually matriculate to medical school.

This is just a thought to keep in the back of your head while reviewing the data.

Overall, if you excel academically it should not matter where you attend undergrad while on your journey to becoming a doctor.
