<p>I am having a hard time deciding on which one of these to go to. I've tried researching online but I haven't found much helpful info. I was wondering which of these schools is better in terms of how well they will prepare me for med-school and which school would make me a more competitive applicant. I am concerned about UNC because all they have is a general biology major and nothing like biochemistry or molecular biology major. My primary concern is medschool admission and success in medschool. Where should I go?</p>
<p>what are the costs of each school to you, including loans? I ask because pre-meds want to avoid indebtedness because med school itself is so expensive.</p>
<p>At UNC I’ll end up paying $9000 a year. NYU it’s around $15000 and Bucknell is around $4000</p>
<p>O I’m thinking about it too. I’m accepted by Bucknell as a biochemistry/molecular biology student(but I don’t know whether I will major in biomedical engineering in the future) …But yeah I also got accepted by U of R and MHC…;( It’s hard to make a decision.</p>
<p>My suggestion is that you can look up the percentage of students admitted to med schools. That will be of huge help.</p>
<p>These are all very different schools in terms of size, location, but all of them academically strong. Any of them would prepare you for med school. I would base your decision on other factors, including cost, and your feeling about the fit of college that you are most interested in. Do you want a small LAC or a large U? Do you want to be in a city, or in a more small town/rural setting?</p>
<p>On the financial fit end of things, Bucknell wins. On the prep for med school they’re even. Bio is bio wherever you go. Academically, they’re tough to compare because of the differences in kind and size and location. Let’s just say that they’re in the same ballpark, with a slight edge to UNC. I’ve seen Bucknell a couple times. Pretty nice campus. Good looking students who emphasize fitness and fraternities. Very small town with not much to offer in a region of the state with not much to offer. All things being equal, I’d go with the cheapest school and have a blast.</p>
