<p>I'm looking for some good medical schools, but do not have much money. What colleges do you believe I could make that would give me a scholarship (preferably free ride) while also being competitive. Also, what top tier schools do you believe I could make? Thanks.</p>

<p>I'd worry about undergrad first.</p>

3

<p>Sorry, probably didn't explain well. I'm referring to an undergraduate school (pre-med program?).</p>

4

<p>Any good college in the sciences.</p>

5

<p>Cornell? Michigan? Duke? There are PLENTY of great undergrad colleges, and any can get you into med school. You won't be restricted when applying to med school if you do well at any college in the top 30 probably. Focus on other factors- location, size, etc.</p>

<p>John*s* Hopkins. Surprised no one mentioned it. World renowned school of medicine and consistently number one for biomedical engineering. The only apparent drawback would be Baltimore. Doesn't do much to lower the campus crime rate is all I'm saying.</p>

<p>Yeah, kids get stabbed a jhu a lot. It really doesn't matter too much where you go to school. If you go to a school that is known for pre-med, you're just competing with more people from the same school to get into the limited amount of spots available. The best college for pre-med is one where you can get the required coursework and attain the best possible gpa.</p>
