<p>Virtually any decent LAC is likely to have a decent pre-med program. If you run down the list of US News top 25 or 30 LACs, I doubt anyone on CC can make an ironclad case that any of them clearly stand out for pre-med per se compared to nearest neighbors on the list. Haverford for a long time was reputed to have an especially good pre-med advising program, but that is just one piece of the academic picture you’re trying to take in. </p>
<p>Once you’ve compiled an initial list, you really need to go visit a few of these places. You may think you want “urban”, but that will rule out many of the best LACs. And you need to see what urban really means in the context of specific settings. In an urban LAC, I would want one where I could step right off campus and within a few minutes walk, be in my idea of an interesting, desirable city neighborhood. Not too many LACs really satisfy that very well. Some of the ones that do may require compromises in other areas. For instance, Eugene Lang has what may be the ultimate urban setting, but does not have much of a campus at all (or very good dorm options).</p>
