A List of Medical Schools All In One Place

medical school May 28, 2020

Choosing where to apply to medical school can be tough. Use this list of medical schools to help you get informed about all of your options for becoming a doctor.

I wanted to make the process easy by giving you a medical school list that is arranged alphabetically by state.

Why?

Your best bet for getting into medical school is attending a medical school from your home state. So if you aren't sure where to begin applying look no further than home.

I want this process to be super easy for you so my medical school list includes U.S. medical schools that grant the M.D. degree aka allopathic medical schools.

*Schools NOT Participating in AMCAS

Those schools designated with * will NOT be participating in the AMCAS application instead they use the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS). I know they say everything is bigger in Texas, but not sure as to why they need a separate application service when applying to their medical schools.

Medical School List Recap

Remember your best chance of getting into medical school is applying to the medical schools from the state where you are from.

Why?

Because typically students who attend medical school in a particular state ultimately end up practicing medicine in that state. 

Here's a perfect example of this...

One of my classmates from undergrad at Northwestern University in Illinois has this medical track record.

She went to medical school at University of Illinois-Chicago. Then went to the University of Chicago Pritzker for her residency.

Ironically, she thought about doing a fellowship but didn't want to leave Illinois despite the fellowship just being two years.

Now her case may be a bit extreme to end up in Chicago for all of her medical education because I've been in major cities throughout the country completing my education. 

However, I attended medical school in New York and there is a high probability I will end up practicing medicine in New York after graduation.

This just goes to show how important your list of medical schools that you will consider applying to can have a significant influence on the rest of your life.

Not saying it will automatically happen this way but keep this in mind. 

Need Help Choosing Your List of Medical Schools?

If you want to get into medical school where you apply matters.

Do not believe that all you have to do is apply to more medical schools to improve your chances of getting in.

It does not work this way.

Whether your list of medical schools is 20 or have a medical school list of 40 you're most likely to end up with the same result.

I can help you narrow down and dramatically boost your chances of getting accepted to medical school. It all begins with how to choose medical schools.

This is the book you must use before applying to medical school so click here to get it now. . 

Why?

What you're looking for and what medical schools are looking for usually are different. So if you don't know how to combine these two factors especially if you do not have stellar stats then your list of medical schools becomes extremely important.

Which makes using my How to Choose Medical Schools guidebook even more important before you finalize your list of medical schools.
