<p>Duke is known for pre-med and attracts many such students, but weeding out is very common. A whopping 46% (!) of my freshman class came in pre-med, but that figure had more than halved by senior year. I was in the orgo section designed for freshmen, and I had never encountered such competitive and stressed out individuals. Admittedly, those who do end up applying to med school do rather well in the admissions process. </p>
<p>Saving money for med school would be a good idea. There are many colleges willing to throw money at NMFs. Keilexandra compiled a very useful list of such scholarships.</p>
