Regarding a key aspect of the NESCACs that have been recommended, they would be most suitable if your academic interests are wide ranging. If the thought of studying in diverse fields such as classics, philosophy, religious studies, government, literature, history, geosciences, astronomy and visual arts — or across another similarly diverse array of fields — appeals to you, then these schools’ opportunities would enhance the scope of your education. If you would rather dispatch with these topics as quickly as possible as you fulfill your pre-med requirements, then the benefits of these colleges might be less pronounced.
