<p>Hi guys, I am a Senior looking to enter college next year (so is everyone else). Anyway I want to join a pre-med college, but I am not the best student on the face of the earth. I have an 1800 in SAT, and I am in the top 15% percent of my class, with a GPA of 3.8/4. I took some AP courses (Physics B, AP US History, currently taking AP Calculus and AP Psychology). I also took Mammology, Anatomy, Chemistry, and Biology. I was wondering what type of pre-med colleges I can apply to. I live in CT, and want to stay in the East Coast. Ohh, I am Indian too and I think that could be a setback. Please help me, I want to try to figure what I can get into and what my shots are. THANKS FOR HELPING.</p>
<p>There are tons of schools where you can go. I don't really know what you mean by a "pre-med college." But anyway, majoring in pre-med isn't even necessary. Major in anything you want, just take the required classes.</p>
<p>I know there are tons of schools, but as someone said in a previous topic that to get into a good med school one must be in the top of that pre med school they are in. I just want to know some good med schools in which I can maintain high grades and thus have better chances when I apply to med school. (I know MCAT is just as important and I will prepare for that as well.)</p>
<p>Just tell me some good premedical colleges, that I can apply to and have a good chance of getting into, thanks.</p>
<p>The first thing you need to do if you are genuinely interested in medical school is research what it takes to get into medical school. There is no such thing as a pre-med college and premed is not a major. You go to a regular college for your undergrad. Choose a major that is something that interests you and could lead to a career you would enjoy if medical school does not work out (it does not for a lot of students). Find out the pre req clsses needed to apply to medical school (usually at least a year of inorganic chem, a year of organic chem, a year of physics, biology (all with lab), English, math - sometimes through calculus, some humanities classes). Some of thes classes may be within your major and some may not (in which case you will need to take them as electives). Meet with premed the premed advisor at your school and get involved with medical related volunteer work and shadowing doctors. get really good grades. You can do all the above at private schools or State universities.</p>

<p>Someone also said in a previous topic not to make a big deal about grading and to just choose schools where you think you'd be happy at. </p>
<p>On wait, that was me.</p>
