Do universities care about what school you come from?

Currently, I don't go to a great school and admissions at top schools are quite low, However, I have the choice to change schools for my last 2 years to a better one, but I am a bit hesitant to leave since I am quite comfortable, but I don't want to stay if it makes a big difference. My current school does not give much extracurricular activity choices or any big opportunities that may help and I want to take medicine which I think makes it harder to get into a better university.

Jennifer’s Answer

Thank you for your question, Sarah. If you are pursuing a career in medicine, don't worry about the quality of your high school. If your high school offers advanced classes, sign up for those and do your best to get good grades in all your classes. Make sure you are volunteering in your community to help strengthen your college application. Your high school GPA will help get you accepted at a quality college/university. Once there, make sure you are volunteering on campus or in the community and try to get an entry-level part-time job in healthcare, like a scribe. You can work during summer break to gain experience. Then, you will have all the qualifications to attend medical school. Best of luck in your future.
