<p>Well, hello again. My previous post involved LACs, but now I shall move into a larger context...colleges overall. Anyways, as is probably obvious, I want to get into a good med school after undergrad; after reading other posts on this site, I am completely bewildered as to what factors are important in an undergrad school. I've heard about all the LACs that turn out so many PhDs in the sciences (Reed, Swarthmore) and I've also heard about the premed factories (Johns Hopkins, Wash U)...but these schools are ostensibly notorious for workload and grade deflation, and I've heard that you should go to a school that will "support" your grades (grade inflation/easier classes). Here is a list of the colleges I am considering...
Amherst
Reed
Pomona
Wellesley
Dartmouth
Brown
William and Mary
Wash U
I am probably going to major in biochemistry/natural science and philosophy.
Could anyone tell me if any of these stand out above the rest for med school acceptance, and strengths in the majors I mentioned? (It would also be nice if the coursework was challenging but not unbearable.) Thank you to anyone who replies!</p>
