<p>just out of curiosity neoevolution why would you not want to go a more “traditional” pre-med route and do four years at Villanova then apply to med school? I have very similar stats as you and am going to take the MCAT junior year, then finish my senior year, and apply. Although med school placement is no guarantee, I have friends who have gotten into top ten med schools with our same stats…why wouldn’t you try for a top 10 med school instead of the drexel program?</p>
