I'm an MS-I.

The schools he applies to should have data about how many students were accepted to which medical schools.

I'm not really much help with choosing schools, because I went in to undergrad wanting to major in Aeronautics, but ditto to choosing a different major.

The majority of kids in my class are either very specific science majors (I was Genetics and Medical Microbiology & Immunology and there are a bunch of Neuroscience, Evolutionary Biology, etc. majors in my class) or non-science majors (Art, Theater, Business, and more).

From what I've observed, simply at my school, the kids admitted from smaller, private schools tend to have higher GPAs than those from large, well-known public universities. These kids also tend to have higher GPAs than those admitted from Ivies. (Granted, this is between .01 and .03 average difference).

Consequently, you can get into medical school from pretty much any school, but it seems--at least here--you need a slightly better academic resume from a less-well known school. That's just what I've noticed though.
