<p>UConn is my state university, so I'm obviously considering it for financial reasons. I definitely want to go to med school, so a good premed program is important to me. Is the Uconn program any good? Also considering University of Vermont, BU, JHU, Tufts, UMich, Cornell, MIT. Thoughts?</p>
<p>Do you know what a premed program is? It’s an advisory track for students considering med school after college. They advise you on the med school pre-req classes and guidance on the MCAT and other application practicals. That’s a “premed” program. UConn and every other legitimate college will have one.</p>
<p>If Med School is truly your goal, you should look at which college will leave you with the lowest amount of debt.</p>
<p>a 4.0 gpa and high on the Mcat score will…its up to YOU, not the school.</p>
<p>What do you think a pre-med program is?</p>
<p>Being pre-med means that you choose WHATEVER major you want…Music, English, Bio, PolySci, WHATEVER.</p>
<p>AND…you take these classes (the same classes that STEM majors take):</p>
<p>Bio I and II
Gen Chem I and II
OChem I and II
Physics I and II
Calculus</p>
<p>As you can see, there’s nothing special or unique…same at UConn or other schools.</p>
<p>Are you a junior or senior?</p>
<p>What is your GPA and test scores?</p>
<p>If you’re considering UConn for financial reasons (which is fine), then if you’re a junior then you may have other affordable options.</p>
<p>What is your budget for college?</p>
<p>I’m a junior. I know what premed means. I’m asking about the strength of the science programs and acceptance to medical school.</p>
