<p>And just another suggestion for when college selecting comes around...schools with more lax core requirements may be advantageous. I chose Brown because of its open curriculum and favored this so heavily for several reasons, including personal style(I definetly learn 10x better if I'm actually interested in the topic I'm facing) and also because it would allow me to fit premed requirements around....well, I don't have to fit it around anything...so it allows me to choose whatever major I wish without worry of 'fitting' it around premed. Though schools that have such a liberal open curriculum are uncommon (and rightly so, because it bears great personal responsibility), they might be useful to look into if one is very serious about the premed track.</p>
<p>One of the factiods given at a Duke info session a few years back is that 100% of their BME grads that applied to med school were accepted.</p>
