<p>Can someone name some elite schools in the united states?:)</p>
<p>I anticipate that this thread is going to get a lot of passionate answers.</p>
<p>1.) Probably better if nobody mentions their own school. I will try to refrain from introducing mine into the conversation.</p>
<p>2.) Did you mean elite med schools, or elite premed programs, or what?</p>
<p>Elite premed schools. Thanks again.</p>
<p>Generally, if you are trying to get into medical school and do well there, small liberal arts colleges (LACs) give you very good odds. Schools in this vein include Amherst, Williams, etc.</p>
<p>Second, most of the schools that are considered "prestigious" overall usually have very good premed tracks. Harvard, Yale, Princton, Stanford often go by the acronym HYPS on these boards, if I recall correctly. There are exceptions - some schools that are very focused on producing, say, engineers often grade too hard and might not have very good advising.</p>
<p>Finally, it's important to consider "fit", as well. For you, you might prefer schools with larger classes (i.e. UVa, UCB, etc.). I'm very grateful to have taken small classes. It varies a great deal from person to person, and just because one school is better for most people doesn't mean it's better for all people.</p>
