<p>Does Oklahoma state university or university of Oklahoma have a better pre med program???</p>
<p>What do you think a premed program is? It is just regular classes, nothing special. both schools would be fine.</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>Start by learning more about what becoming a strong med school applicant takes. Read thru the very informative FAQ at <a href=“http://www.rhodes.edu/hpa/15890.asp”>http://www.rhodes.edu/hpa/15890.asp</a> They also have a great writeup in the PreMed Essentials link on the left side of that page. There is also an excellent online handbook at Amherst I recommend to get an understanding of the process and what really matters
</p>
<p>So what it really boils down to is neither has a “better” program. You do the right things you’ll be a strong candidate from either, but if you lack the drive and initiative neither is going to supply it for you.</p>
<p>I always ask kids that say they want to be doctors, why an M.D? Not that I know it is wrong for you, it may be the right fit, but have you actually looked into the medical field and considered the alternatives? From the day you start college it will be 11-15 years before you are a practicing doctor, depending on what field you go into. In other words, think back to 1st grade; all those years since then matches the <em>minimum</em> it will take to become a practicing doc! Its almost a reflex action among HS kids, they think of a career in medicine and its “I’m pre-med!” Doctors are far from the only ones in the health field that help people. Physical therapists, radiology techs, nurses, speech pathologists, to name but just a few. Before you go heavily into debt and commit so many years I suggest you explore the alternatives. </p>
