<p>Alright so I am an average student (stats below) and I am extremely interested in medicine and have been for quite awhile. I know you guys may think these questions are asked too often but i cannot seem to find a straight answer. Does anyone know a really good school for research and a very good "pre-med program" I understand my stats aren't very good but any ideas as to what schools I have a good chance at getting into?

THANK YOU!</p>
<p>I suggest you go to the PreMed Topics subforum and read some of the sticky threads, there are a couple of excellent ones about what to look for in an UG college if you are thinking about taking premed coursework.</p>
<p>Note: Schools don’t have ‘premed programs’, you just take the required coursework and can major in anything. Also, med school acceptance rate stats are not a reliable metric to use because schools do not calculate the rates the same way. Finally, please read the stickies first, the questions you’re asking are FAQs.</p>
