<p>Which schools in the mid west have the best pre-med program?</p>
<p>WUSTL, Case Western, U Mich, UW-Madison, Ohio State, Northwestern…</p>
<p>I’d also highly consider Pitt and Carnegie Mellon.</p>
<p>Kalamazoo, Earlham, and Hope are highly regarded for pre-med preparation. </p>
<p>Any of the good schools in the Midwest not already mentioned by OHKID are also likely good choices. </p>
<p>Beloit
Carleton
Cornell
Denison
Grinnell
Gustavus Adolphus
Hiram
Kenyon
Knox
Lawrence
Macalester
Oberlin
Ohio Wesleyan
St. Olaf
Wittenberg
Wooster</p>
<p>Illinois
Indiana U
Marquette
Miami U
Michigan State
Minnesota
Missouri
Notre Dame
Purdue</p>
<p>Great list, hippo2718.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that the University of Chicago is a good school.</p>
<p>I’d second OHKID’s list.</p>
<p>LAC -
Beloit
Carleton
Centre (actually KY, but a very Midwestern feel)
Denison
DePauw
Earlham
Evansville (mainly theater)
Grinnell
Juniata
Hanover
Kalamazoo
Kenyon

Oberlin
St. Olaf
Wabash

Michigan State
Michigan Tech
Northwestern
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Pittsburgh
Purdue
St. Louis
Tulsa (depends on if you count OK as Midwest or Southwest)
WUSTL
Wayne State
UW - Madison</p>
<p>Rose-Hulman and Kettering deserve their own categories as undergrad/master’s engineering schools.</p>
<p>^good list, but a couple of these i dont consider in the midwest, like Carnegie Mellon. also, i wouldn’t include Wayne State, and maybe Michigan Tech. I live in Michigan and from what i know of Wayne state it is not a very good school, and Tech isnt that great except for engineering.
i would also include Loyola Chicago on this list.</p>
<p>Appended - </p>
<p>Removed Wayne State per suggestion, left Michigan Tech on for engineering. Added Cornell IA, DePaul, Loyola Chicago. Considering adding Illinois-Chicago and maybe a Missouri or Minnesota public. Considering adding Northern Michigan for its English department.</p>

[The</a> Experts’ Choice: Colleges with Great Pre-Med Programs | InsideCollege.com](<a href=“The Best College Rankings and Lists | Inside College | CollegeXpress”>The Best College Rankings and Lists | Inside College | CollegeXpress)
Scools on the list that are not already mentioned in above posts:</p>
<p>Colorado College
Hiram College
Illinois Weleyan
University of Louisville
Wheaton College</p>
<p>Colorado College might be considered a “Rocky Mountain” school, but it is a member of the Associated Colleges of the Midwest. It’s also one of the few LACs with its own cadaver dissection lab ([Colorado</a> College | Bulletin](<a href=“http://www.coloradocollege.edu/Bulletin/March2005/healing.asp]Colorado”>http://www.coloradocollege.edu/Bulletin/March2005/healing.asp))</p>
<p>i know nothing about northern michigan, ha. i only know of two people that went there, i think most of the people that go their go their because they are from the U.P. i would suggest adding hillsdale college, which is very good in the humanities.</p>
<p>^
Brewerfan99, you say MAYBE add a Missouri or Minnesota public when you include schools like Loyola Chicago, Tulsa, Illinois Tech,etc.? lol</p>
<p>I third OHKID’s list…just add the University of Minnesota, University of Illinois, and Penn State if you still consider that Midwest.</p>
<p>Man, there are some great lists on this thread!!!</p>
<p>Fo pre-med, LAC’s really are a great idea if you want that atmosphere (which many, including myself, find desirable). I excluded them from my list only because the schools I posted have world-renowned hospitals and medical facilities on-site, making it much easier to intern at one of these institutions. Still, many LAC’s do a teriffic job of placing their students into internships and other real-world experiences.</p>
<p>
I know a few people that attended this school. Apparently, its strong point is science/technology. Probably shooting a little low for the OP, but not a bad choice nonetheless.</p>
<p>I have to admit I glossed over the “pre-med” qualification before. Not my field. This is just a general list.</p>

<p>I don’t see how Pitt, Carnegie Mellon and Penn State are in the Midwest, however all of the colleges and universities listed are great for prospective undergraduate students interested in medicine.</p>
<p>Anything between Pittsburgh and Denver (the Appalachians and the Rockies) is “Midwest” as far as I’m concerned. Of course you can define it more narrowly if you like, but if you do, what are the boundaries?</p>
<p>My two favorite colleges in the Midwest are Bowdoin and the U of Guam.</p>
<p>Haha!<br>
Really, though, I don’t think I’m being arbitrary in bounding the “Midwest” by Denver and Pittsburgh. Culturally as well as geographically, Pittsburgh probably has as much in common with Cleveland or Chicago as it does with Philadelphia. Denver is more of a distinct “Rocky Mountain” entity, but at what point driving west in Kansas do we want to say the Midwest ends? At the Colorado border? </p>
<p>Anyway, Colorado College is an ACM school (Associated Colleges of the Midwest). Though it’s a long way west from its nearest ACM neighbors in Iowa.</p>
<p>I’d rethink discarding Wayne State if I were. Clearly it’s an urban public college and it’s not for everyone, but they’ve put out a fair share of students whom eventually have become doctors. Do some homework before posting comments that have no foundation.</p>
<p>Okay people, he/she asked for a few and you give like 50. The best are probably Northwestern, Washington University in St. Louis, and University of Chicago. If you’re looking for a medical program, the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, NE is a renowned hospital.</p>
