<p>Does anyone know a college that has a phenomenal per-med program with a 100% chance acceptance into medical school? I t would be nice if it is a little cheap or hopefully, free.</p>
<p>No school will have a 100% acceptance into med school. And if any did do you think it would be free???</p>

<p>noimagination’s suggestion is good if you can get accepted to one of these programs. It’s worth noting, though, that many students change their minds about med school while in undergrad, and these programs with 7 or 8 year programs aren’t necessarily seen as the best med schools. It’s worth looking into to see if it’s right for you, though.</p>

<p>Over the Rainbow University</p>
<p>Seriously, why would you ask such a question? If there were such a university, it would be almost impossible to get into because every pre-med student would be applying.</p>
<p>What are your stats? Are you an American?</p>
<p>If a college has a 100% acceptance rate to medical school, it doesn’t mean that you have a 100% shot at medical school just because you matriculate there. There’s a fair amount of weeding out and manipulation of statistics to get to something like that.</p>
<p>My bad. I phrased the question improperly. Sorry. What I really meant to ask if there was a really good college with a strong pre-med program that is not so expensive. I don’t intend to hear any ivy league school like Hopkins because that is obvious…People these days are over-critical. I didn’t have to hear a lecture from 5 different people to tell me my question was stupid, one was more than enough. Nevertheless, thanks. I’ll remember to phrase my questions more properly next time.</p>
<p>oh and thnx noimagination…that really really helped;}</p>
<p>What state are you in?</p>
<p>How much can your family contribute each year?</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>After you answer these questions, we can make some recommendations for you.</p>
<p>OH thnx…im in NY, my family can’t give much… im a junior with a 91 ish average and an SAT of 1960. I took three SATII and I already took 3 AP’s. Don’t have much else to say about myself.</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>you say that your family can’t contribute much. If that’s because they’re low income, then fed aid and NY TAP might make some SUNY’s affordable to you. Right now, your stats might not be high enough for acceptance at the best schools that give the best aid. But, if your scores go up, you may have a better chance.</p>
<p>However, if your family’s income is middle-income or higher, and they can’t pay their EFC, then you will have to strategize.</p>
<p>Do you know what your family’s likely EFC is?<br>
[FinAid</a> | Calculators | Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and Financial Aid](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Expected Family Contribution (EFC) Calculator - Finaid)</p>
<p>(keep in mind that an EFC does not define how much your family will have to pay. People usually have to pay more than their EFC.)</p>
<p>UB has a very good pre-med advising program, and a med school, but your stats aren’t high enough for guaranteed admissions. It’s not necessary to have that guarantee, and most do not, if you keep your gpa high during undergrad, do very well on the MCAT, and have good EC’s while in college. I would recommend looking at the SUNY’s, like UB, who offer majors you’ll be interested in and other opportunities, such as undergrad research, where you can distinguish yourself. The added benefit of a school like UB is that they have a wide range of health science majors, as you may discover a year or two down the road that your goals change and you could to pursue one of those without transferring. However, you should understand that UB and other major research univ’s often have difficult science courses, aka “weeder” classes. Not impossible to do well in if you work very hard, but plan accordingly and try not to overload yourself. I agree with M2CK that it’s very hard to beat the affordability of a SUNY when you’re looking at big grad debt later on.</p>
<p>SO in a sense, Its kinda hopeless for me to try to reach for any higher-level schools. Damn, that was definitely a dream shooter. But hey as Sinatra would say, “That’s Life.” If you have a weighted average, does that count or do colleges undo the whole weighted thing?</p>
<p>Colleges will likely consider the weighted average in addition to many other factors, but some may calculate their own. The weighted average can be “gamed,” but it does give a sense of the difficulty of your program.</p>
<p>“If a college has a 100% acceptance rate to medical school, it doesn’t mean that you have a 100% shot at medical school just because you matriculate there.”</p>
<p>Ditto that. If you’re an idiot and you go to this hypothetical, you won’t instantly become smart. The way I see it, you are the single most important factor. If you’re good enough to go to med school, you’ll get in regardless of where you go.</p>
<p>If you are from NY, go to Stony Brook. It is well-known for the pre-med program.</p>
