<p>So does anyone know any good schools to go to for premed?</p>
<p>Any school can be a good pre-med school, as long as you can do well there. </p>
<p>Try Miami OH. They have one of the best pre-med success rates in the nation.</p>
<p>Narrow your choices down a bit; location, school size, tution, etc</p>
<p>Location: anywhere but NE, can't stand the cold
size: perferably in the middle
tuition: cost is not a problem</p>
<p>I would really like a college with good social activites that doesn't make you study 24/7.</p>
<p>Emory, Vanderbilt, Duke, WashU, Rice, Davidson....etc</p>
<p>Holy Cross (45 minutes west of Boston) has an excellent record in preparing students for the health professions. Graduates are admitted to medical school at a rate twice the national average, and more than 10 percent of Holy Cross alumni are currently practicing medicine.

<p>Notre Dame has strong social scene on campus, and if you can make it past year two in the pre-professional program, you have a much better than average chance at medical school (75% or more)</p>
<p>Northwestern has a lot of pre-meds who study hard and party hard. It's a fairly balanced life for a very very competitive program</p>
<p>I second the recommendation for Rice -- great pre-med advising and placement, access to Texas Medical Center (next to campus; largest in world with 13 hospitals and 2 med schools), undergrad focused, lots of research opportunities, warm weather, beautiful campus, collaborative, supportive environment, and great inclusive social life with residential college system.</p>
<p>thank you all so much!</p>
<p>soakupthesun,</p>
<p>Make sure that you will be happy with the school if your future plans change. Trust me, they often do, and you want a school where you'll be just as happy studying ______ over ______.</p>
<p>Thank you for the advice.</p>
<p>Cornell University has an amazing premed program. I think that 90 some percent of their graduates get into top medical schools.</p>
<p>Cornell is an excellent place, but nobody has those kind of results.</p>
<p>90% perhaps eventually. 75% for first-time senior applicants.</p>
<p>Including a qualifier about which schools?</p>
<p>What's a "top" medical school? WUSTL and UCSF and Harvard only?</p>
<p>Or do we include UCLA and UCSD?</p>
<p>Who cares, anyway?</p>
<p>1.) UCLAri strikes one good point: where do you draw the cutoff?</p>
<p>2.) The other good point: who's to define this list, anyway? Some schools are better at some things than others.</p>
<p>3.) 90% into US medical schools at all is pretty freaking spectacular -- those are Harvard/Princeton numbers. Even Duke, Stanford, and Penn don't break 90%. When you add in some kind of rankings threshold -- any kind -- nobody breaks 90%. It just doesn't happen.</p>
<p>Honestly, who really cares if you go to UCSF vs. UConn? You're going to be a freakin' DOCTOR. So many things have an effect on your residency, anyway. Like USMLE.</p>
<p>i think those are all great schools but I don't know if I can get into them. I'm an average student, well depending on your interpretation of average.</p>
