Hi guys! I’m a rising senior really interested in persuing medical school after undergrad, but I’m having trouble finding schools that are great for pre-med (specifically, in the NE region.) So I was wondering if anyone out there could please give me any reccomendations on schools? And if i should remove some of the schools on my list. I would like to apply to about 6-8 schools. Thanks!
Schools I’m currently interested in:
-Brown ->plan on applying ED, but can never be hopeful on that =(
-Umass Amherst/Lowell (not sure if i will like the big school environment though)
-Tufts
-BU (heard the pre-med isn’t that great though so not 100% sure anymore)
-UVM
Schools I am not interested in:
-Brandeis
-Northeastern
-Western New England University
