Note 1. Don’t worry if your medical school is not there. They have to have submitted recent data.

Note 2. Dont worry of your medical school is lower in the table. Your medical school experience is not primarily determined by its academic ranking. It is more do with the things that happen there, e.g. friends you make, fun you have, parties, societies, sports and individual attachments on the wards or in the community etc.
