I am going to attend a university in south dakota in the fall. I have lived in SD for the last ten years, and have grown up around this school. I love it. the location, the people, the professors, everything. My question is this: The school is the south dakota school of mines and technology, and they are well-known for science and engineering majors. they are a small school ,(3000 students), but I have toured it, and know it well. They do a lot of research, and they have 150-175 employers at their job fair, and all my friends who went there (none pre-med) had offers in their junior years to work. will I be at a disadvantage graduating from a small school when I apply to medical school? I would hate to leave, as I volunteer at the regional hospital, and have two doctors and a PA i shadow in town. there is also an EMT course i was planning on taking. Provided my MCAT is decent, and my grades high, will medical schools see me as a competative applicant?
