<p>My gpa is around 80% (3.2/4) and with a low SAT score of 1740, which college would provide the best pre-med program for my grades? I love science and math but in high school history brought me down alot, therefore my low grade.</p>
<p>Probably looking for an Upper East Coast college.</p>
<p>Thanks for your suggestions.</p>
<p>I don’t know, maybe SUNY Stony Brook?</p>
<p>It is important to be realistic. A US accredited med school would want to see you in the top 1% of students in GPA (adjusted of course for difficulty of undergrad school), and in the top 10% of MCAT takers. If that is not likely to be the case, keep your mind open to other technical careers in the healthcare space.</p>
<p>I would want MY physician to be smart in the technical aspects of medicine, as well as in other non-technical areas such as psychology, history, religion, etc. It’s not like there is an abundance of med school slots… why can’t they require an applicant be good at EVERYTHING?</p>
<p>What’s your budget? Most likely a stay school will be your best bet.</p>
<p>I agree with RedRoses – a solid state school</p>
<p>If finances aren’t a factor, I’d also encourage you to look at schools which admit using holestic process.</p>
<p>LaSalle in Philadelphia, PA gets a fair number of students into med school.</p>
<p>Other small private LACs may meet the criteria as well (Ursinus in PA)</p>
<p>If your SAT is loopsided and very high in math vs CR, then the smaller schools may be a good bet for you.</p>
<p>Remember – There is NO pre-med major. Med schools only require a student to take a few select courses (Organic Chemistry is one of the courses). This means you can look for an undergrad school where you can take the select science courses required for medical school while at the same time major in a subject that will “boost” your GPA. Just be sure you get a solid foundation for the courses that will continue in med school. </p>
<p>FYI – Med School is very expensive and is not the only track. Consider Physician Asst and other similiar careers as well.</p>
<p>The amount of money that your parents will pay will likely determine where you should go to school.</p>
<p>How much will they pay?</p>
<p>Pre-med is not a major. You major in what you want and you make sure that you include pre-med req’d courses.</p>
<p>Probably looking for an Upper East Coast college.</p>
<p>What state are you in?</p>
<p>You’ll may need to broaden your geographical limitations.</p>
<p>Not quite near the coast, but I would look at Juniata in PA…</p>
