Hello! I am currently trying to narrow down my schools. One of my choices is Brandeis in/near the Boston area. Another is American University which is in D.C. So as a poli sci major BUT on a pre-med track which area would have more opportunities for me in regards to internships, research opportunities, and experience in general?
What are the net costs for each?
I would think American would be better for Poli -Sci internships.
If you want to go pre-med then think about:
- The cheapest reasonable college so you/your parents can use the money for med school
- The college needs to prepare you for MCATs but still allow you to get a good GPA
- Access to volunteering opportunities (e.g., near a hospital)
- Success in graduates getting into med school
- Options if you don’t go to med school
