<p>What colleges have the best programs for pre-med students? I haven't gotten all my letters yet... but considering:
UMich (likely honors), only one I've heard from yet.. accepted
Yale
Notre Dame
Northwestern (not accelerated honors)</p>
<p>Probably Yale.</p>
<p>Why? Simple. Grade inflation. You want to go to a school with lots of grade inflation in order to maximize your chances of getting into med-school.</p>
<p>The reputation of the premed program by itself doesn't mean much. If the school's science department is solid, you should be fine.</p>
<p>Apply to guaranteed acceptance programs. They're the only good pre-med program.</p>
<p>I agree with marcNHS - the guaranteed programs are probably the best. Guaranteed admission is gold.</p>
<p>However, second best are what you would expect - Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Princeton. Because of their extremely high placement rates (generally around 90% success rates), you can think of them as quasi-guaranteed programs. True, you will still have to work extremely hard, and acceptance is not fully guaranteed. But it is closer to being guaranteed than it is at most other places.</p>
<p>what are some colleges that have guaranteed acceptance programs? i know rochester does and a couple of others do, but what are some schools where its not so competitive to enter a "guaranteed acceptance program?"...and how do you get into it? it usually requires early admission to that college and then hopefully, you get accepted into the program, right?</p>
<p>kahuna- check the multiple degree programs forum</p>
<p>I was accepted to the University of Florida, University of Miami and the University of North Carolina. Basicallyy i am wondering if it would be worth the money I spend to go to UNC over UF, b/c i live in florida so i would get free ride. Would the higher ranking of UNC but tougher courses benefit me more, than the lower ranking UF (but by no means bad) and probably easier to attain a higher GPA.</p>
<p>what about BME at Johns hopkins?</p>
<p>apply to a guaranteed program. i am going to UMKC medical school and they have a 95-98% positive residency match. of course it costs money, but when you are a physician you can pay it off pretty fast...</p>
<p>Is tufts a good school for premed? is it better than ucla or berkeley?</p>
<p>berkley is suicidal if you want to do premed. i heard their premed to med rates were pretty low. (in the 20% area? someone correct me if i'm wrong).</p>
<p>lol no</p>
<p>It's a little above 60%.</p>
<p>It's 63%, compared to the national average of 57%.</p>
<p>Isn't Cornell in the 80s?</p>
<p>How's Vanderbilt for premed? How about for BME?</p>
<p>80% overall for Cornell in 2003. 77% in 2004. 86% among applicants with 3.4 or above GPA's. 99% for applicants with 3.8 or above GPA's.</p>
<p>I saw someone wrote 88% for Northwestern. I don't know where he got it from though.</p>
<p>Well, since everyone's asking...how about Johns Hopkins?</p>
<p>Neuroscience to be specific?</p>
<p>UMKC has a 100% :)</p>
