<p>I was wondering if anybody could comment on the pre med program and science majors at Dartmouth. Does it offer good research opportunities as well as a more personal feel with professors than at big, research universities? Also, is Dartmouth particularly known for being cut-throat and/or particularly bad on curving so many students are "weeded" out? Is it uncommon to be a non science major pre med? Thanks!</p>
<p>No weeding at Dartmouth. Lots of pre meds there. Great interaction with profs. Plenty of research and many research grants.</p>
<p>Are the students really collaborative? Also, I take it that it has great placements across the country?</p>
<p>If you have the stats for Dartmouth, going to your instate public is a probably better bet for premed. Stay home and you will be an academic star on campus. Professors will be calling YOU to work on their research. </p>
<p>Med school is (almost) all about gpa+mcat.</p>
