<p>Hello Wissam: so, you’d rather go to college in MA but it’s not in-state for you, so you could consider similar options in New Engand or the Mid Atlantic?
For pre-medical studies, all you need is a strong program in the sciences, access to internships (either through nearby city or through career center at college), and being in the top 25% of admitted applicants so that you can preserve your GPA.
Your admission will be based on your GPA and your MCAT score, so you need to take the most rigorous classes available while preserving your GPA. 
Then they’ll look at research, publications, internships, shadowing, etc.
Check out all the schools in NESCAC, Umass’ Commonwealth Honors College, Clark, the SUNYs (especially Stony Brook and Geneseo), Dickinson…</p>
<p>OK so right now i should not worry much about what colleges i apply to then as long as they are in a location i like and have strong sciences and while taking hardest possible course rigor would be able to have a high enough GPA so that i am in the top 25 percent for wheni want to go to med school(btw i most likely dont want to continue in the same location for med school), so in my case reach schools would be harmful for me then right?</p>
<p>You should also familiarize yourself with the requirements and recommendations regarding what you need to do in college to be a strong candidate for med school. There are many books about the subject. A good online starting place is [Amherst</a> College Guide for Premedical Students](<a href=“http://www3.amherst.edu/~sageorge/guide2.html]Amherst”>Amherst College Guide for Premedical Students)</p>
<p>I also 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. Doctors are not 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>
<p>thanks ill look into that guide, and don’t worry I’ve searched many majors, and i’m aware of all the available fields of studies(in fact im also the best in math and physics and chemistry in my class other than bio which ull read later on about). Ever since i was a child i was fascinated by dinosaurs than later in early middle school it was animal and plant biology, but a year into middle school i read about anatomy and human biology of all sorts and that was when i was just absolutely flabbergasted. by the 8th grade i knew all the bones and almost all muscles(even the very advanced ones) , i had read about all basic body functions(even now in high school while taking A-level and AP i still seem to never encounter new or very detailed material compared to that which i read) and then transcended from just regular library books from the adolescent section to the adult section where people in university were even studying medicine and borrowing books that i was borrowing at the time and my passion till now only seems to grow. in the end i’m very certain of that i want to enter med school but my main problem for undergrad now is that EC’s have never been my thing, i’m very athletic but have a serious knee problem and other than that i live in Lebanon now (sadly had to move there during high school)where community service is quite hard to find where u can be accredited for it( BTW i tend to digress a lot from my point, bad habit)</p>
<p>so in the end and back to my main question where would be some good universities for me to apply for premed?</p>
<p>I expanded a bit out of MA because it’d be quite restrictive otherwise. I also didn’t quote the “usual suspects” (Ivy League, NESCAC).</p>
<p>U Mass Amherst Commonwealth Honors College
Dickinson ¶
Juniata ¶ (remarkable success for med school admission considering it’s not that selective)
Franklin&Marshall ¶
Tufts
Brandeis
Boston University
Wheaton College (easier to get into than the others)
Holy Cross (only if you’re sure you can be among the top since their exceptional admission rate is due to heavy weeding out)
Hamilton (NY)
U Rochester (NY)</p>
<p>*OK so right now i should not worry much about what colleges i apply to then as long as they are in a location i like and have strong sciences and while taking hardest possible course rigor would be able to have a high enough GPA so that i am in the top 25 percent for wheni want to go to med school</p>
<p>*
??? Do you mean the hardest rigor in HIGH School? or what are you saying here?</p>
<p>*</p>
<p>(btw i most likely dont want to continue in the same location for med school), so in my case reach schools would be harmful for me then right?*</p>
<p>not sure what you’re saying here. Are you saying that you don’t want to go to med school at the same univ that you went to undergrad? If so, why not?</p>
<p>@mom2collegekids what i was asking there is if what i understood was correct and that if what it implied was that i should go to a university where i can have high academic rigor but still manage to be in the top 25 percent and maintain a high gpa as well, meaning not a very tough university in other words.
and
id prefer to go to a different med school then the same one as when i went to undergrad</p>
<p>and BTW, my whole Massachusetts thing is totally off now, put universities in any location</p>
<p>id prefer to go to a different med school then the same one as when i went to undergrad</p>
<p>Ok…but realize that your undergrad isn’t the “same one” as your med school even if it’s the same school. Not at all. Your undergrad isn’t the med school.</p>
