<p>which is the best undergrad school if i want to go to medical school in the future? i hear the ivys are't so good because of the low gpas. any feedback would be great</p>
<p>?????
from what i've heard, HYP all have GPA inflation...</p>
<p>combined degree programs, guaranteed med school</p>
<p>how can u beat that?</p>
<p>One school with good admission stats to med schools is Hope College, in Holland Michigan. The best school for you will be the one where you fit in well. You need to examine who you are and what will suit you best considering weather, social, sport, and cultural opportunities, costs and of course admissions. Some students are put off by size, Hope is smaller than Cornell....some are put off by cold or heat...so Rice or USC may be more or less appealling than Columbia. Know thyself and to thy own self be true....works for college admission</p>
<p>i thought u dub supposed to be up there too... especially med, business and aeronautics and stuff</p>
<p>yankee:</p>
<p>need to find other info sources. Harvard is the king of grade inflation -- an article in the Boston Globe a couple of years ago noted that ~88% graduated with high honors (3.7). Princeton just put a "cap" of 40% A's per class. Stanford also gives out gentlemen's B's.</p>
<p>but, absolutely, if you can get accepted into a combined program out of HS.</p>
<p>Combined programs that remain at 8 years are okay, but accelerated progams I'd be wary of. That's just my opinion after a year of medical school. There are a lot of issues: if you change your mind, if you get burned out, maturity, social life, transferring and a thousand other things.</p>
<p>The biggest thing is that you should never choose a university on the basis of whether or not it will get you into medical school. There is far too much that can happen over the course of 4 years that make such a decision a poor one. Besides, you can get into medical school from ANYWHERE, but absolutely no school guarantees you admission somewhere.</p>
<p>Go with your heart, go to the place where you fit in the best. Go the school that gives you can achieve the most at, while having the best time. Which school will you be enthusiastic about donating money (or as enthusiastic as one can be about giving away money) to as a graduate of that school...</p>
<p>Middlebury College in Vermont supposedly gets 98% of its pre-meds into med school</p>
