<p>I am not sure if this is the right thread, but i am currently a senior applying for college and looking for schools to apply to.</p>
<p>Anyone could recommend me some schools with a good Biochemistry/Biomedical engineering major and a Pre-med program?</p>
<p>My stats are:</p>
<p>3.47 GPA
10+ AP classes
30 Act score
Sat II: Chem 600, Math 1 700, Math 2 720.</p>
<p>3 years of chess ( 1st seat, team captain/coach and i made it to state all 3 years)
4 years of Dance club ( President and one of the Cofounders of the club)
3 years of Track
3 years of French Club
4 Years of volunteering ( 100+ hours)</p>
<p>I have limited experience with Bio-engineering, but I know that Med schools (graduate schools) are quite lenient with their selection of colleges. </p>
<p>What I mean by this is that it’s better to get a 4.0 perfect GPA at a 2nd tier college than a 3.6 GPA at a prestigious Ivy. </p>
<p>So the bad news here is that the stats you’ve posted aren’t very impressive. The good news is, it doesn’t really matter.</p>
<p>Of course, it’s even better if you can get a 4.0 at an Ivy. But that’s hard.</p>
<p>So for you, I’d recommend not obsessing over the college rankings, but find one that you want to go to. As a premed student, you have some leeway.</p>
<p>So liberal arts schools like Vassar, Macalaster, Oberlin, etc. are a good fit. </p>
<p>The singlehandedly most important thing is to get as close to a 4.0 - if not a perfect 4.0 - in college.</p>
<p>Thanks Kj! but let me rephrase my question.</p>
<p>I am considering majoring in Biochem or Bio-engineering while taking on the pre-med workload. If possible, i would love to do a double major. I am not really looking for a prestigious college or anything like that, but a college that i could get into with those stats. Are there any colleges that i can get into with my GPA and Test scores with either one or both of those majors ( preferably both) and that could prepare me for med school?</p>
<p>There are lots of schools that would be a fit - almost any reputable school can prepare you for medical school and many schools offer biochem or bio-engineering for someone with your stats. You need to define your criteria move and figure out what you can afford (knowing, of course, that medical school costs a bundle, so you need to avoid debt like the plague.)</p>
<p>Once you have your criteria (financial situation, size, location, culture, etc…), come back and we can help. Your personal stats and major just isn’t enough to go on.</p>
