<p>might look at Holy Cross-top25 LAC WITH NICE CAMPUS 1 hour from Boston. Holy Cross has great pre-med program and med school placement rate. The Holy Cross web site is informative.</p>

<p>If you are into smaller schools, I would recommend some liberal arts schools like vassar college or maybe barnard if you like NY. Also, you could try brandeis or northeastern (both are sort of up and coming schools)</p>
