<p>im currently a junior in high school. im trying to find colleges that i want to apply to that have decent programs that will prepare me for med school. I know that there is no such thing as a “pre med” major. I also know that the college that is best for me is the one that I personally like the best. However, there are a few questions i have regarding my journey towards med school.</p>
<li><p>I’ve heard that some colleges weed out their students in the first years of college. Does anyone know some specific colleges that do this?</p></li>
<li><p>I’ve also heard that some colleges have committees which decide whether to write the student a letter of rec. or not. Once again, does anyone know of specific colleges that do this?</p></li>
<li><p>I know that there is no such thing as the “best pre med program.” However, there must be some colleges that will prepare me better than others for the MCAT. Any suggestions?</p></li>
<li><p>What are some colleges that have grade inflation in the pre med path and what are some that are cut throat and have grade deflation?</p></li>
<li><p>I know that most undergraduates have a disadvantage when applying to the same university where they earned their degree. What are some med schools that actually give an advantage to undergraduates from that same school?</p></li>
<li><p>Lastly, I know of most of the prestigious colleges, from Rice, to Stanford, to Duke. Does anyone know of colleges that are good for the pre med path, but are not top notch and so expensive? I’ve been looking at colleges such as U of I and UW-Madison. any other suggestions? it doesn’t neccesarily have to be in the Midwest regioin.</p></li>
