<p>Which one of these schools is the better pre med school??? Which one weeds out pre meds more???</p>
<p>I doubt anyone here knows. It’s not like schools publish that data. </p>
<p>Most/all schools “weed out”. The number is meaningless really. </p>
<p>Whether YOU make it thru depends on YOU. A school can’t “weed” you unless YOU don’t keep up and get the grades.</p>
<p>How strong of a student are you? What are your test scores and GPA?</p>
<p>“I want to go for pre med. SAT took 2x and taking best score from each is 1600 (out of 2400) total score. GPA is 3.333 uw and 3.48 w”</p>
<p>Your biggest problem is that you’re not that strong of a student. Premed prereqs are going to hard at all good schools. It won’t really matter which of those two schools you go to, the classes will be similarly difficult.</p>
<p>Nobody will “weed” you out if you maintain GPA=3.6+, which is strongly recommended if you are planning to apply to Med. Schools anyway. So, question is kind of mute, irrelevant.</p>
<p>The question isn’t really moot, but Miami is right that no one is going to weed you out at those schools if your GPA is strong.</p>
<p>The weeding process isn’t one where the school directly does something to the student (unless the school controls who gets Committee Letters). </p>
<p>The weeding process tends to go like this:</p>
<p>400 frosh declare to be premed.</p>
<p>Fall semester, 75 of those premeds do poorly in Bio I and/or Chem I, so they realize that they’re not cut out for premed and they change their major.</p>
<p>Spring semester, another 75 do poorly in Bio II or Chem II and they move on to something else.</p>
<p>Soph Fall semester, another 100 do poorly in OChem I and they move on to something else.</p>
<p>And so forth…including the fact that some change their major simply out of interest, not poor grades.</p>
<p>Then the remaining 150 or so premeds that have a good GPa take the MCAT. Maybe only 100 end up with med-school-worthy MCATs…so those 100 end up applying to med school.</p>
<p>The school didn’t just arbitrarily weed those kids. Those kids’ did it to themselves.</p>
<p>That said, if you want the top grades, the chances are better if you attend a school where your stats are strong…and you study hard.</p>
<p>…yeye, you will need to study extremely hard at absolutely ANY UG, including off the charts, unknown local schools in some abscure places and in a middle of nowhere. That is what I heard from the very top HS kids, valedictorians from private prep. HS, nobody is immune at any UG whatsoever, there is NO easy way if you wnat to add and “MD” to your name and this includes PhD’s from Harvard who sometime change their life goals and decided to enter Med. School. They are just as challenged. One “little” thing that may make Medical School a bit easier is a Masters in Anantomy (according to my D.). However, these are the people who originally did not get accepted to Med. School at all, so they decided to go for Masters. They do not have it easier overall, just few years longer. Keep in mind, the more rigorous and busy your UG classes / overall schedule, the better you are off in terms of being prepared to be pushed to the limits 100% of the time for several (almost uninterrupted) years. The minute you thing that it cannot get harder, no way, here it goes, taking you to the next level of torture…tell yourself over and over “when going gets tough, tough gets going”, not much more you can do, just tough up and get going…</p>
