<p>I am currently attending Rutgers university. and taking bio psych expository writing calc
I have different questions and statements.
I no pre-med courses are going to hard but Rutgers seems harder than most other programs i am hearing about. Since Rutgers does have a lot of people applying to med school i think i will not look as competitive and do more work with a less chance of getting into medical school.<br>
Thus, my questions are:
Are other pre-med programs easier?
such as stockton, tcnj, or wp (or if anyone has any idea of an easier undergrad program for pre-med or bio and be able to get into med schools like umdnj or some other medical school that would be great.)
Should I transfer to these programs?
What are my chances of getting into any medical school in the US if I went to the easier pre-med program?
If these other programs are easier my GPA would be higher and beucase of this in my opinion I can get into a medical schools easier than rutgers.<br>
I am willing to do work, but the thing is in high school I didn't study for one test, finals and midterms included, I would write my papers for high school the night before, and still get A's. My high school GPA was a 3.9 and I had sat scores of 1950.<br>
The whole point I am trying to make is I am willing to do work for these classes but not to a full extent I want to relax more and pull out of college with a decent 3.4-3.6 without doing much work. I will do work. But I just need answers. I do understand that college involves work, but I want more leisure and easiness of life.<br>
please respond back
Thank you</p>
<p>I have several friends who are premed at Rutgers and they seem to be doing fine in their third year. But it's not like you can coast through college with barely any work..you have to realize that now before it's too late. Especially when you get to Orgo. From what I know about wp and stockton I would assume they're easier than Rutgers but don't just transfer for that reason. Rutgers is a great school and the pay off will be good if you work hard plus you'll have connections to UMDNJ.</p>
<p>3.4-3.6 is going to put you below average for applicants. It's all fine and dandy to want to relax and stuff, but not if those are the results you're going to get. You chose Rutgers for a reason, that reason should trump any desire to "coast" with mediocre results, just stay where you are and apply yourself. This process isn't very conducive to "leisure and easiness of life"...</p>

<p>Can we get an "Amen"?</p>
<p>i think that if you end up with a 3.4-3.6 you shouldn't worry at all (but also, don't resign yourself to that gpa...of course try to do your best). your effort got you to that gpa, which is very respectable, and you will probably get into a medical school provided that you don't really mess up the MCAT. just take it all in stride and don't worry about the competition -- all that matters is if you're satisfied with your undergraduate experience when you graduate. do the best you can, have fun while doing it, and take pride in your accomplishments. i think a lot of you guys on this board could stand to learn this.</p>
