How do you break down the top medical schools?

I know there are primary care vs research, but I have heard there are other ways to break it down into subcategories.

How do you break down the top medical schools?

Despite its flaws, the US News rankings are considered the authority on school rankings. Yes there are others, but people only use them when actively looking for an excuse to place a particular school above what it's ranked in the US News rankings.





Of course, don't go strictly by the rankings. And based on your previous question, apply to a ton more schools than just the top ranked ones. You may have been the top of your class in high school, but everyone else at Berkeley is as well so you'll rapidly find things aren't quite as easy as they were in high school. More importantly, just cuz a school is high ranking doesn't mean it'll be the best fit for you. If you hate it there, you might not do as well and thus hurting your chances at a good residency.
