More on Medical School Rankings

The US News rankings are helpful in identifying schools that are moving up or down - but they aren't the only measure of value for medical schools. In deciding where to apply you have to find the medical school that fits you best. Does it produce the kind of physician you want to be? Is it affordable? Do you like the atmosphere and other students?

Surprisingly - or perhaps not - the medical school that is the best fit for you personally is often the school most likely to accept you. So search, investigate and visit before you make your decision.
