<p>Hey guys,
I'm searching for a website that lists the best pre-med programs for undergraduates.</p>
<p>Can you guys give me a link?
Or just suggest your top choices? Thank you!</p>
<p>I'm personally interested in NYU CAS</p>
<p>but please feel free to comment.</p>

<p>HYPS
JHU, Duke, NU, all the rest of the ivies
top 30 schools of USNews.</p>
<p>I would disagree. The best premed schools are places where it’s possible to get good grades and still prepares you well for the MCAT while being affordable so you aren’t breaking the bank paying for medical school. Which doesn’t necessarily mean a top school that everyone lalas over the name.</p>

<p>This is absolutely TRUE. Minimize debt as a pre-med major, otherwise you’ll run out of borrowing power for med school (and some med schools will reject you if you do have big undergrad debt because they fear that you will run out of money before finishing med school.)</p>
<p>Pick a decently ranked affordable school that is strong in Bio, chem, Physics, and Math. High GPA and strong MCAT and you’ll be accepted to med school.</p>
<p>NYU is awful with aid, so unless you can easily full pay for NYU undergrad and med school - forget it.</p>
<p>The best premed schools are the ones that you can get sky-high GPA as well as MCAT scores.</p>
<p>^ Harvard, Stanford, Brown (pass/fail, no +, - grades)</p>
<p>Yes I agree with you! From what I read on this website everyone is suggesting that I go to a pre-med school where I will earn a good GPA and get into a medical school. Since I live in NJ the best colleges are outside my state. Example, NY, PA and MA. So I’m looking very carefully at all factors. I cant seem to find the best fit though except NYU which is expensive. Does any one know a great web site where I can view the pure facts and statistics of various med schools and the percentage of students getting into med schools?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Explain, please. What schools in NY, PA, and MA do you consider better than Rutgers and TCNJ when taking into consideration the factors for pre-med people in this thread have mentioned? I know a few pre-med classmates from high school (I’m from NJ, btw) who turned down more prestigious colleges for a Rutgers full ride or $10k/yr (which covers tuition and part of R&B for NJ residents).</p>
<p>I suppose it’s a step down, pride-wise, to go to the state school a bunch of people in your class are also going.</p>
<p>OP: take the stats that colleges give you regarding med school admissions with a grain of salt.</p>
<p>Some schools only include the stats of the pre-med students they officially “advise.” (They do not tend to “advise” those with lower chances of admission.) Some choose to include (or not) post-bacs and alumni as they see fit.</p>
<p>Ask the med schools themselves to get a more realistic picture of their undergraduate representation.</p>
<p>Thanks for the the reply, but Rutgers Is my last choice. Plus Princeton only has a pre-med and I’m sure keeping a high GPA in Princeton is difficult. In NY there is NYU, Columbia, and Cornell. In PA there is Penn State. In Ma there is Boston University which I hear has a great pre-med system?(Is this true)</p>
<p>In short, I’m still searching and want a good fit for a college.</p>
<p>By the way do you know if Cornell has pre-med? I heard it does not.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>-Elissa</p>
<p>^ I don’t understand your question. </p>
<p>Every school has a pre-med curriculum. Some have pre-med MAJORS. Is this what you’re asking about?</p>
<p>NYU, BU- way too expensive for the name
Penn State- I don’t know why people from NJ like this place, I’ve never heard of any merit money given to OOS students</p>
<p>None of the schools you named have pre-med majors, btw. Pre-med is just a designation for yourself.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Holy Cross</p>
<p>Since I live in NJ the best colleges are outside my state.</p>
<p>What??? No! You have Princeton, Rutgers, etc.</p>
<p>Holy Cross has an <em>amazing</em> program, if you can get into it (you have to apply specifically into it during admissions). They get 87% into med school and have a wicked impressive faculty pre-med advising committee. “Pre-Med Programs” are all about advising, not the major. Pick a school strong in sciences and with excellent advising. </p>
<p>But like it was mentioned above. You need to go to the school where you will get the highest gpa and highest mcat scores. This means, your reach school may not be the best option if you are going to be towards the lower portion of the class. To be competitive for med school you need to have a 3.5 gpa and up and have a relatively high class rank. Pick your school based on this. </p>
<p>BUT a major reason the ivies are good for pre-med is because of their grade inflation. So if you get into one go there! Grade inflation is good if you are going pre-med. It ensures a higher gpa.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins has a world renown medical and hospital system…</p>

<p>2008’s “Hottest Premed School” by USNews. :D</p>
<p>let’s face the reality people. </p>
<p>the bulk of the students at most well-established med schools around America come from the top schools such as the top 30 schools by USNews.</p>
<p>Do medical schools know which schools have grade inflation?</p>
