<p>Which school would be best for a biology major who eventually wants to go to med school? What do you know about either schools?
Thanks!</p>
<p>NCF. One of the top colleges in the State. Small, interactive classes. Will push you to ensure a top MCAT score. (Bottom 25% admitted students = 27 ACT!) Of course, very intense. Considered “Ivy feeder”. Lots of students give up because they find it too hard. No GPA so look at the way they handle med school (their applicants aren’t hurt by that though, don’t worry). Essentially a great choice if you can handle it. NOT a good choice if you’re a slacker though.
Wilkes Honors College is a great alternative to NCF for premeds - related to FAU but on autonomous campus, with access to Max Planck Institute.
If you can get into FIU Honors that would be a good alternative. Less intense. Still pretty weeder in the premed science core classes, but perhaps not up to par in the other parts of the premed core curriculum such as English, sociology, psychology, Diversity-focused, etc, if they’re not taken in the Honors section.</p>
