<p>I live in Wisconsin, I have applied to...
-University of Wisconsin Madison
-University of Chicago
-Northwestern</p>
<p>Im looking for a school that will give me good chances to get into med school. I have a 31 ACT and I'm in the top 10% of my class.</p>
<p>juniata in Penn. It has a 100% acceptance into law/med school</p>
<p>Well, I kinda want to stay near WI. Anyone have any opinions of the Universities I listed?</p>
<p>The universities you listed are great. Small liberal arts schools are good pre-med options too. In your area schools like Carleton, Macalester, Grinnell, Knox, St. Olaf and Lawrence, among others, do an excellent job preparing students for med school.</p>
<p>Hope College. More undergraduate research published in peer reviewed journals in biology than Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>Here are some good Midwestern universities:</p>
<p>Carleton College
Grinnell College
Macalester College
Northwestern University
Oberlin College
St. Olaf College
University of Chicago
University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of Notre Dame (Yuk! LOL)
University of Wisconsin-Madison</p>
<p>You could try Wash U in STL. Its a little drive, but they have a great premed program and top 2 med school in the country.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks for the imput guys.</p>
<p>Northwestern is pretty bad for pre-med i think. In the viewbook, they said only about 55% of their undergrads applying to med school will get in. That's pretty low, especially since the school attracts a higher caliber applicant to begin with.</p>
<p>Good point sanguine. I also noticed that only 22% of NW applicants to Madison's Medical School were accepted compared to Chicago's 42% and Madison's 51% (bias obviously) Still, 20% more from Chicago, which is rated a lesser, poorer University then NW.</p>
<p>university of minnesota-twin cities</p>
<p>U of Chicago is not RATED a "poorer, lesser university" (than Northwestern). </p>
<p>US News has RANKED it lower than Northwestern, despite the fact that the US News peer academic rating is significanty higher than Northwestern's. For a variety of reasons it would be no surprise to me that U of Chicago's med acceptance rate is higher than Northwestern's.</p>
<p>The advice that I have gotten from doctors and med students is that its very important to not get lost in the crowd, have research ops, and good rec's from professors. Look at the LAC's already mentioned - especially the minnesota schools.</p>
<p>University of Iowa is a good public school and Washington U. in St. Louis is a great private one for pre-med</p>

<ul>
<li>55%? That is just not true; that number is more like over 90%.</li>
</ul>
<p>Knox College in Illinois is also worth looking at. They have an early admissions agreement with Rush Medical in Chicago - strong candidates can apply to Rush after their Freshman year at Knox. If they meet the criteria, they're guaranteed a spot when they graduate from Knox. Unlike some other similar programs, you're still allowed to apply to other med schools if you want. Admission to the Knox-Rush program is pretty competitive.

<p>Two other liberal arts colleges you may want to consider are Denison and College of Wooster.</p>
<p>Beloit! Beloit! Beloit! It's very well looked upon. Also look at Kalamazoo College.</p>
<p>Regarding liberal arts colleges in Wisconsin, Beloit, Lawrence and Ripon all have excellent success in sending students to medical school. I believe that all three tout between a 60 to 80% acceptance rate -- though you will probably have the contact the schools to get the current rate for all three schools.</p>
