Pre med schools?

<p>What are some of the best premed schools? I have solid stats, but Ivies are a little reachy I guess. I just want to go to a school with a solid premed program.</p>

<p>What are your SATs? In which state do you live?</p>

<p>Check out U Rochester.</p>

<p>What is your home state?</p>

<p>Is money a concern? </p>

<p>If you’ll need to borrow for med school, it’s not a good idea to borrow for undergrad.</p>

<p>Any good college that is strong in bio, chem, physics and math can prepare you for med school. You’ll need strong grades and a strong MCAT.</p>

<p>Emory has a fantastic pre med program… are Ivies impossible for you… if so, Emory will be very hard as well… but if you have good stats, than look into Emory.</p>

<p>I got a 2190 on the SAT
Math: 690
Verbal: 780
Written 720
And I’m from michigan</p>

<p>I have sweet EC’s, but only 5 AP’s and a 4.0 and it’s actually a 2170, sorry… A 770 on verbal and 710 on written</p>

<p>Uni of michigan is an infamous awesome premed, but uh…</p>

<p>any half-decent school can get you into virutally any medical school assuming you have the brains and the work ethic! Best option naturally is to pick a cheap option that you’d enjoy :D</p>

<p>Med schools readjust your GPA/MCAT score based on the mean average of students applying from your university.</p>

<p>so a 3.9 from Podunk state that has a 32 MCAT score will be very impressive (but meh) because the average GPA at Podunk state is a 4.0 (Easy), and the average MCAT score is a 24 (yeah…)</p>

<p>Then again, A 3.5 from Cornell with a 32 MCAT score is a different story because Cornell GPA’s might be lower, and the average MCAT Cornell score is probably much higher.</p>

<p>So overall, be prepared for the competition. Regardless whichever school you will go to, you will need to compete and be the best.</p>

<p>There is no easy route via undergrad to the best med schoolsl</p>

<p>Look at Duke, Rice (next to the world’s largest medical center with 13 hospitals and 2 med schools = loads of research/volunteering opportunities), WashU, Emory, and Northwestern… although these schools are still tough to get into, it seems you will have just as good as a shot as anyone else. You should apply to schools even if they might be high matches/reaches.</p>

<p>However, you can study premed anywhere.</p>

<p>Very strong stats :)</p>

<p>UMich is super for you since you’re instate! :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Is money an issue? Can your parents afford to send you anywhere you’d like? :)</p>

<p>Do you need to save money for med school? </p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Money isn’t an issue, which is good!</p>

<p>^^^^</p>

<p>Great!!!</p>

<p>Will your parents also pay for med school?</p>

<p>I think so, my dad just wants me to focus on schooling not money, so I got lucky…</p>

<p>Davidson/William & Mary have great med school acceptance records, but also offer top flight programs if you change you mind, which freshman often do.</p>
