<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I'm new to the forums and I had a few questions regarding Wake Forest and UFs pre-med program. Ive been accepted into both universities and hope to major in biology. I was curious about whether it would be better to go to the easier school, UF because of Wakes rep for a high workload, or the better school overall? ie Wake. If anyone has any knowledge on either school related to pre-med it would be greatly appreciated and if anyone currently attends Wake Forest or UF and is pre-med or has gone through it I would greatly appreciate any advice/insight.</p>

<p>How are the medical school acceptance rates for undergraduates between the two schools?</p>

<p>I've heard that Wake Forest practices grade deflation- do medical schools know this and will they take that into account when looking at the application?</p>

<p>How difficult was it to fulfill the pre-med requirements at Wake? Is the workload particularly intense relative to other undergraduate universities, like the University of Florida?</p>

<p>Thanks for any and all answers.</p>

<p>For your major, you are missing the most important point. MONEY. UF is very cheap if you are FL resident, so attend that. </p>

<p>“do medical schools know this and will they take that into account when looking at the application?”</p>

<p>If you already know Wake Forest has grade deflation, then try to avoid it. They would rather take 4.0 from UC-Santa Cruz than a 3.6 from UC-Berkeley. Obviously, 3.6 from Berkeley is more qualified.</p>
