<p>I want to go into pre-med and I have to pick between U Iowa, Purdue, and Colorado Boulder. Which one should I pick? Will all the biology programs be fairly similar? Thank you! </p>
<p>3 Great State Schools - I’d defer to the cost on them a bit as their departments are pretty similar.</p>
<p>Boulder is probably the best college town. All are fine for pre-med – I would pick the one that has the lowest cost. Med school is expensive, you want to minimize your loans from undergrad. Med schools care about GPA, MCAT scores, and that you have some activities that show an interest in medicine. </p>
<p>Thank you!! What do you think would be a good number of volunteering hours, like what would be most helpful on a med school application? </p>
