<p>You are off the mark. You’re going about this the wrong way. The preparation that medical schools want to see in applicants is not hard and fast in terms of undergraduate coursework. Of course they want to see excellent performance in your science foundation coursework, but besides General and Organic Chemistry, and Physics, they will thoroughly evaluate any background as long as the grades and MCAT scores are superior.</p>
<p>That being the case, find a school where you believe you’ll be comfortable and thrive. Naturally, some colleges have a great track record of placing their alumni in medical school. But again, a B- average from Yale may not often beat higher test scores from a B+ applicant from St. Olaf College (where a board certified doctor I know got his B.S.) or Xavier U of Louisiana (which has an outstanding med school placement record).</p>
<p>So choose a college that has something extra that appeals to you, be it location, undergraduate research or campus life.</p>
<p>By the way, search 3/2 engineering programs here on CC. Lots of opinions. Personally, I am not impressed by them for reasons I’ve stated before. You are surely aware of the scarcity of engineering departments at LACs. Therefore, investigate some smallish engineering universities to see if they interest you;</p>
<p>Case Western Reserve University
Washington University St. Louis
Saint Louis University
Rose Hulman Institute of Technology
Illinois Institute of Technology
Villanova U
Lafayette College
Carnegie Mellon U
Clarkson University
U of Rochester
U of Tulsa</p>
<p>Getting back to Yale University, obviously it’s a major and prestigious school, although it’s reputation for engineering generally is not gold standard. However, Yale does excel in Chemical Engineering emphasizing biological/medical sciences. Yale, like some of the other Ivies, can have an LAC type of feel to it.</p>
