<p>I can’t really compare HC and BC as when I applied to schools 4 years ago I never even looked at BC so I know nothing about their program. From my experiences at HC and from past students that i have talked with, if you do well you will be able to get into almost any medical school. This year a bunch of my friends have had interviews/acceptances at ivy league med schools, top private schools like Georgetown, Baylor, Albert Einstein, Tufts and top public universities like UMass, UVM, UMichigan, UTexas. </p>

<p>Also, HC prepares you really well for graduate school. I myself decided halfway through med school application process that med school wasn’t for me and I decided to apply for phd programs in biochemistry instead. I applied to 7 schools and got into 5 of them (with 4 of the programs being top 30 biochemistry programs). </p>

<p>Hope this kinda helps since I can’t really compare the two…but if you have specific questions about HC premed let me know</p>

<p>Hi hcbc2010, I really do appreciate the info and all of your assistance to the group. My D is in a similar spot as bostonvillanova in re: pre-med at HC or BC - did many of your classmates take advantage of the Early Acceptance program with Tufts? Do you know approximately how many “slots” are available to the undergrad student body at HC?<br>
Thanks, in advance.</p>

86

<p>I have a few Cs on my transcript and was accepted, although they were in honors and AP courses. I do live in the Midwest though, so that may have helped me.</p>

87

<p>alsdad13, Students at HC do take advantage of Tufts early assurance program. I’m not to sure about how many apply each year but I know that two students will be attend Tufts medical next year because they applied to the EA program our 2nd year.</p>

88

<p>I believe on the Tufts School of Medicine website it says approximately 15-20 students are accepted each year from all five schools and 50-60 apply.</p>

89

<p>I still haven’t gotten my admission decision in the mail - if I haven’t gotten anything by now should I assume that I was denied? Anyone else still waiting to hear? BTW I live in MA so I would have thought I would be one of the first to hear…</p>

90

<p>you should definitely call. </p>

<p>also, does anyone know of scholarships available for holy cross?</p>

91

<p>lisztomania, there is a scholarship for incoming freshman for two people $2500 that should come with your financial aid package</p>
