Pre-Med university suggestions?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm currently a sophomore girl at a selective admission Science and Technology (STEM) focused high school. By the end of high school, I would have taken 7-8 APs and all other honors. I am expected to have a 4.3ish GPA by senior year and currently have a 2300 range SAT score (superscore).</p>

<p>Besides from school, I am an officer of a Bioengineering club at my school, have been playing Piano and singing cultural music for 8 years (as well as competing), and participate in USA Biology Olympiad, Future Problem Solvers, am doing a research internship, etc.</p>

<p>I am interested in going pre-med.</p>

<p>Given my background, which US colleges would you recommend to look into/apply? (Tuition and distance from home is not a major factor) I am also at a preference for a larger college atmosphere & enjoy competitive environments.</p>

<p>Thank you very much in advance.</p>

<p>You want a school with:</p>

<ul>
<li>Pre-med courses that will prepare you well for the MCAT.</li>
<li>High grade inflation relative to student competitiveness.</li>
<li>Convenient access to pre-med extracurriculars.</li>
<li>Low net cost to save money because medical school is expensive.</li>
<li>Your desired major(s) (which do not have to be anything in particular, as long as you can fit the pre-med courses into your schedule).</li>
</ul>

<p>There are no “pre med universities”. </p>

<p>Pre-med students attend a variety of schools…various privates, various flagships, or even their local state school. Any good school is fine.</p>

<p>What state are you in?</p>

<p>Now is the time to talk to your parents about how much they’ll pay for college. That will largely determine where you should apply.</p>

<p>I’m in VA, and interested in mostly private schools (with exception to schools like UVA).</p>

<p>Do a search here on CC for threads related to premed and medical school - there are many, many threads with advice for pre-meds on how to choose a school, what to be aware of, etc… Repeating it all here would be redundant.</p>
