<h2>1 Teacher (very good recommendation and I can get more)</h2>

<p>I want to major in biology (specifically micro or cellular or marine) and go to med school. Are these good schools for my aspirations? Also do you think I should add or replace some schools for the ones I am considering? Also are there any schools you would delete all together? Are these the catagories I have placed the schools in accurate?</p>

<p>In a college I am looking mostly for a school with a strong biology department. Decent professors that are at least somewhat interested and care about their undergrad students. Also do they have a decent rate of sending students to med school. </p>

<p>PS Can you suggest any schools I should look into? Still adjusting my list.</p>

<p>PPS I realize UMich isnt really realistic for me and I dont really want to go there at all but my parents are forcing me to apply so I cant remove it.</p>

<p>Thank you very much I hope I can get a lot response because I really need some unbiased imput (everyone other than me is dead set on where they want me to go but they will support me wherever I choose.)</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>If UMich isn't realistic and you don't want to go there, you shouldn't call it your "top choice."</p>

3

<p>Michigan State University and University of Michigan (aka UMich) are two absolutely completely different schools.</p>

4

<p>Whoops, sorry about that, I misread it at the top since you don't have UMich on the list :|</p>

<p>John,
Sorry, I don't have any advice. I just love reading your threads. You're one of the most persistent "askers" on here. I really enjoy following your progress. Keep it up. I'm dying to see how it all turns out for you and wish you the best. </p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>I see you chose to rule out Allegheny and Juniata. Any specific reasons?</p>

12

<p>just too many colleges and i like to get new responses and see what everyone else thinks :). I like to post whenever I am at work cuz I ve got nothing better to do or its 4 am. It really helps pass the long boring hours sitting behind a desk.</p>
