<p>which ever one You can get a 3.5 gpa in.Mcat/gpa is what matters, not what school you went to. The top two ba’s for med. school are history and engineering majors. The pre-med/bio students all kill each others gpa’s.</p>
<p>"The pre-med/bio students all kill each others gpa’s. "</p>
<p>-do not know what you mean. Bio is definitely easier than engineering.<br>
Your GPA and MCAT depends on you, not the school that you go. Choose the school that better mathces your personality and all goals, medical and otherwise. The rest is just your effort and nothing else.</p>
<p>Do you think its better to go to a large university (b/c of the research oppertunites. etc) ex: unc ch/bing/stonybrook …involved with sciecnes… for pre-med… OR a small liberal arts college… tht allows you to meet teachers more and get better recs/ smaller class sizeees? ex: villanova, geneseo, furman</p>
<p>go where you have to borrow the least amount of money. LOL</p>
<p>How much is each school costing you? Are your parents paying for all of your costs?</p>
<p>You can get to know your profs at big schools as well.</p>

You make too many assumptions, creating labels and attaching them to various places. Research opportunites are everywhere, colleges that do not have Medical Schools have Medical Research Labs, believe it or not. Letters or rec. depend on your performance, have nothing to do with size or any other school attributes. Here is sincere advice: follow your own heart after you visit, talk to people there and do extansive research. Go where you personally feel that you fit. Some large schools have small classes. All Honors classes are smaller. If it happens to be the cheapest one, better yet, since Medical School is very expensive. Also, if school gives you great Merit package, it is an indication that they want you and they know that you are a good fit at this school, it is an indication that you most likely will have other opportunities there that are not available for average students.</p>
<p>And consider this—nearly 2/3rds of students who start out as “pre-med,” never actually end up applying to medical school.</p>
<p>Choose a school where you will be content to graduate from without the ‘pre-med’ filter.</p>
