<p>Jackhart, one of mine went there. Though truly an excellent school, I would not recommend it to a bio major, particularly one with possible med school or grad school or other health studies after college. First of all the grading curve is very tough which can make it more difficult to get into some programs. Also it is expensive, and to borrow even more for med school makes it a heavy,heavy load of debt even for a profession as high paid as that of physicians. </p>
<p>A more nurturing school that is more affordable would truly be a better environment IN MY OPINION. I say this as a mom who has seen many bright kids’ med school dreams dashed by a very tough inpersonal premed program. In some of those cases, it would have made a big difference had the student gone to something not so cut throat. As for the expense, well, just look at the numbers. There are folks in my generation who had big med school bills to pay, but these days, the cost is even higher and the returns in pay are uncertain.</p>
