<p>I don’t agree that all pre-med programs are cut-throat. My son is in a pre-med program at Alabama, and he gets very good pre-med advising. He’s double majoring in Chem Engineering and Biology.</p>
<p>UAB also has a good pre-med program that isn’t cut-throat. So does Auburn.</p>
<p>Since there is no “pre-med” degree, how can it really be cut-throat? It’s what you choose, the courses you take, and your MCAT score. That’s what matters to med schools.</p>
<p>Vandy also has a good pre-med program and good advising.</p>
<p>What’s your SAT breakdown? And, did you ever take the ACT?</p>
