Bard or Bates for pre-med?

<p>Well, what would be your pick and why? :)</p>

<p>Bates. While it is really what you do that will or will not get you into Med School I think there will be a bigger support group, both from the Administration and other students, at Bates. </p>

<p>Bard is working to beef up their science departments and they have a very nice, from the outside at least, looking new science building but I think they have a ways to go. While one does not have to major in a science to get into Med School I think having stronger departments may help.</p>

<p>Both are fine schools but are very differrent in their “feel”. FYI, my son transferred from Bates to Bard have his freshman year and his very happy at Bard. You should factor that into any decision on where you might want to go as well as their different locations.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
