<p>What are some colleges that have really good pre med? I really want to go to Stanford School of Medicine. Tips on that too? Thank you! </p>
<p>Whichever school is cheap and is a match for you.</p>

<p>The best college to get a ticket to Stanford med school is Havard and make sure to get a Gpa of 4.0 and Mcat above 40. </p>
<p>"“What are some colleges that have really good pre med?”"</p>
<p>Huh? I’m wondering if you know what premed is. virtually all good schools will have “really good” bio, chem, math and physics classes. That is not hard to do. </p>
<p>And don’t focus on any particular med school. All US MD schools are excellent and getting into any of them is a crapshoot.</p>
<p>Forgive my sarcasm , M2c is right on the money ;
</p>
<p>There is an excellent online handbook at Amherst I recommend you read to get an understanding of the process and what really matters
For even deeper detail it would be a good idea to get a book about medical school admissions so you understand the entire process and what you should be doing to prepare the next several years.</p>
<p>One thing to avoid is placing any importance into acceptance numbers. Some schools boast incredible rates, but it boils down to one of two things. Either they start with great students (think Stanford, etc) or the school weeds out students. Look out especially for the “committee letter” which small schools with average students coming in wield like an axe to prevent all but the strongest applicants from applying right out of college; to no surprise, they often boast 90% or better med school “acceptance” numbers for their undergrads. Soon a regular poster will chime in to recommend one such school, Holy Cross.</p>
<p>I also always ask kids that say they want to be doctors, why an M.D? Not that I know it is wrong for you, it may be the right fit, but have you actually looked into the medical field and considered the alternatives? From the day you start college it will be 11-15 years before you are a practicing doctor, depending on what field you go into. Doctors are not the only ones in the health field that help people. Physical therapists, radiology techs, nurses, speech pathologists, to name but just a few. Before you go heavily into debt and commit so many years I suggest you explore the alternatives.</p>
<p>Frankly, we have friends actually work in the Stanford Med School and they have the privilege to review the profiles of the admitted students. From what I have heard, for all practical purposes, those kids are all Genius to their own right. I’'ve heard there is almost no students has a sGPA/GPA lower than 3.9, 4.0 is the norm, and MACT is around 40. So what I posted before is more or less accurate, however, high stats are only a ticket to get an interview, 2/3 or more interviewees are not being admitted. If op is that good, he/she has all the rights to dream of Stanford Med School.</p>
