<p>What are some colleges (preferably on the East coast) that are just under the top universities in America that offer great biology programs for undergraduates/have a high med school acceptance rate?</p>
<p>There are many mid-tier schools on the East Coast (and EVERYWHERE), that have strong pre-med programs that have high med school acceptance rates (a high MCAT is also very important for med school acceptance - also high grades in Organic Chem classes). </p>
<p>So…first…answer some questions, so we can make appropriate suggestions… :)</p>
<p>What is your home state?</p>
<p>How much can your parents pay each year?</p>
<p>What are your stats (GPA weighted, ACT and SAT (including breakdown).</p>
<p>Are you a junior or a senior in high school?</p>
<p>Other than having a strong pre-med/bio program what else do you like in a school?
Big, small, quiet, rah rah big sports, city, college town, rural, warm weather, cold/snowy weather, single-sex schools, schools that are heavily male or heavily female? Catholic schools???</p>
<p>Holy Cross, Tufts.</p>
<p>Are you looking for merit scholarships? I’m wondering because of your request for mid-tier schools.</p>
<p>Muhlenberg, Ursinus, Franklin & Marshall, Juniata–although Mom2 asks very relevant questions</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes. Holy Cross and Tufts are second tier colleges…</p>
<p>Washington & Jefferson has been known to have a surprisingly high med school acceptance rate [Washington</a> and Jefferson College - Best Colleges - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/washington-pa/washington-and-jefferson-college-3389]Washington”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/washington-pa/washington-and-jefferson-college-3389)</p>
<p>And I also LOL when someone posted that Tufts was a 2nd tier school!! You gotta be joking!!</p>
<p>Very high African American acceptance rate to med school: Xavier in New Orleans.</p>
<p>Is the OP African American?</p>
<p>If so, he could have more options. :)</p>
