In Dire need for some Great Suggestions

<p>Hey, I just need some suggestions for a really nice pre-med college. Any college would be nice and im open to anything that you throw at me. With that said, please don't throw the obvious oddballs at me, which means the Ivy's. But anyway, Id appreciate ur help. Thnx.</p>

<p>use your resources man…here ya go <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-student-topics/152312-top-pre-med-colleges-med-schools-rankings.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-student-topics/152312-top-pre-med-colleges-med-schools-rankings.html&lt;/a&gt;
actually that post is kinda outdated and misleading but there is another link in there if u continue to next pages</p>

<p>I am using my resources, by asking u to help me. Isn’t this a website where I can get some information? Enough of my whimpers. Thanks for the assist. I didn’t mean pre-med as in Medical schools, i meant it as a college with a solid pre-med program. Sorry for being unclear.</p>

<p>Purdue
Indiana U
U Pittsburgh
U Rochester
Michigan State
Iowa State
Case Western
U Iowa
Brandeis
Tulane</p>

<p>gooniejessen - I don’t mean this sarcastically or harshly, but your question makes no sense. The premed program consists of the following:</p>

<p>4 semesters of chemistry with labs (2 in General Chemistry and 2 in Organic Chemistry)
2 semesters of Biology with lab
2 semesters of physics
2 semesters of an English course that involves expository writing
2 semesters of Calculus</p>

<p>That’s Harvard, and most of the others are the same. Now I think you can see that virtually any USNWR top 100 school can easily provide you with a great education in those basic topics. The real questions are what are your academic stats, what is your financial situation, and what would you most like in a school as far as size, location (urban vs. rural, warm vs. cold), sports scene, Greek scene, music/theater/art, anything that is important to you in particular. Answering those questions and finding a school that fits will yield the best result for you.</p>

<p>P.S.</p>

<p>OK, I looked at your other posts and here is what you said:</p>

<p>

So while it would be good if you added more info such as UW GPA, your EC’s, and those personal preferences other than boxing, it helps. For example, Brandeis is probably a bit of a reach with your SAT score, but certainly not impossible. It depends some on your UW GPA and class rank. So give us that and we can give you better suggestions.</p>

<p>My list was - “non ivy schools that I like and that I think have good bio and chem and a lot of pre-med students” :wink: The OP might be looking with schools with clubs or seminar series for pre-med students, or schools with high med school admission rates.</p>

<p>Hi MidwestMom - There is certainly nothing wrong with your list, but I think you will agree that until we know more about the OP and what they are looking for or would prefer in a college beyond the scant information given, it is hard to make meaningful recommendations.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help. If u guys need anything more specific, I would like a college that has a small class size, preferably in a city. Perhaps criticizing my questions instead of trying to make sense of them makes sense to some, but please continue to help.</p>

<p>Im sorry for being ****ed. i guess I sound like a ■■■■■■, but forgive me for being angry. I think I was really mad because almost in every post that I post, somebody has to reply with a statement of how my quesion doesn’t make sense. I was just ticked off at the fact that instead of trying to fix the issue or at least make sense of it, these geniuses just point out the wrongs. Gee Thanks, now I can live knowing that I don’t make sense. But i think it was really the stress I have in finding a place that i really want to be in. Thanks MidwestMom, ur probably the first to not criticize and just to empathize. I didn’t really reply sooner because I was checking out the schools that u showed me. Im in ur debt. Fallenchemist, sorry, but if u want to say that I dont make sense, dont write an essay. Im tired of these tirades. Thanks for the suggestions though, I’ll definitely try to change the way I think for u, seriously.</p>

<p>People are saying your question doesn’t make sense because it’s incredibly broad. You can go pre-med pretty much anymore (if not everywhere) by taking the courses required to apply to med school. This can be done regardless of your major–my dad’s a physician who was an Econ major. </p>

<p>This gives us more to work with. Small class sizes for a pre-med will probably mean a small college, since most pre-med track classes will be enormous lectures at big state schools. Are you open to liberal arts colleges?</p>

<p>To the OP:</p>

<p>An idea of your location would also help. Many, many students who consider themselves “pre-med” find that an affordable, nice in-state public works quite well for their undergraduate college. As FallenChemist points out, the required coursework for medical school applicants can be done at just about any accredited university in the country. As many others have pointed out on numerous other threads related to costs of college and costs of medical school, many, many students who consider themselves “pre-med” choose to attend reasonably priced in-state publics in order to minimize their undergraduate student loan debt since paying for med school almost always requires the taking out of major student loans.</p>

<p>Thnx for the suggestion… I Think I would like a small college, with a great education, a reasonable price (something that a middle-class/ lower middle-class not so geniusy kid can afford.) I would LOVE it if it is within the Penn/Jersey/York area ( really would love it if it is within the Penn/ Jersey area.) The college should have a nice acceptance rate into Med School (pointless, but its still a statistic.) I want to have an amazing college experience and I prefer public. Im impartial to Public and Private. Thanks;}</p>

<p>What is your home state? This is particularly important if you are lower income.</p>

<p>Siena College in Albany, NY sounds perfect for you. It’s a small LAC (~3,000 kids) with a lot of school spirit. Your stats will give you the Presidential Scholarship (which half of the incoming class gets) for $8,000. It’s really cheap for a private school at $37,000 tuition+r&b, and thats before the Presidential Scholarship. The biology program is really solid and is one of the most popular majors. You may even get accepted into the Albany Med program, which gets you right into Albany Medical College after you graduate.</p>
